I think this is a good discussion, it just does apply to Texas or Texans. I see no problem with wearing a baseball cap or a cowboy hat at the table. It often adds a wonderfully appealing dimension to ones dress. Around her we hear things like "really nice cap" or "that cowboy hat suits you well". Often in restaurants ladies, I mean really nice looking and well mannered ladies, are heard saying, "darn that guys looks great with that cowboy hat". Etc. Etc. Etc. So I guess your discussion must apply to another county, or planet. I always suspected a problem with people other than Texans. I mean, really, good gosh, what in the world is different about a nice pair of shoes or a nice cap or hat. So, look, if one finds it inappropriate to wear a hat or cap or even a wig at the table, then is follows that it is inappropriate to wear shoes at the table. They are typically much dirtier, no matter how well shined. I'll go with being real rather than go with falsity of the shine on the shoe.

Once again you hit the well known nail on the head with your observations and comments. Would you believe I'm the only man in my department who comes to work wearing shiny shoes, clean pants, a dress shirt and a blazer or sport coat? On rainy days I willingly share my umbrella with students who are on the verge of being soaked. One of the many things I learned in Alumni College is the importance of being a good role model.
Keep up the great writing!
