Let me just say this. I ate in a gourmet joint once for a very special occasion, took another couple along, and was quite appalled that they allowed men in the dining room in wife-beaters. Who wants to glimpse a mass of black armpit hair at the next table?

As to head gear, I guess they decided visors, hats et al - verboten - period.
