That's the thing. People here aren't walking around looking trashy.
Men in tank tops does conjur up the image of grandpa in his dirty white
undershirt working in the yard. But as you say, I own many perfectly
nice tank tops.

The last time I went there for dinner (The Pub, which is casual) I wore
a matching skirt and top. The top just happened to be "tank" design so
I threw a light jacket on over it. Heaven forbid I show my shoulders!
I have no doubt they might have tried to throw me out if I'd taken off
my jacket. I dare you!

That happened to me a couple of years ago. I didn't know you weren't
allowed to wear nice denim into the *casual* Pub room. A server saw me
and started yelling, "No no no! No denim!" the minute I walked in the door.

Most people don't leave their caps on, but to make a rule about it...
how about just ask people to remove them? No need to get in a tizzy or
issue rules. These people are control freaks.
