I learnt in an "in town" Lakewood style yeshiva /Kollel for 7 yrs among other yeshivas I've spent time in. I realize the significane of wearing a hat and jacket. Although, after being in the working world for about 10 yrs I admit I don't wear the uniform as frequently.<br /> What I have trouble coming to turns with are these yeshivishe chevra that, you could almost say, don't know where to draw the line.<br /> As the Subject suggests I saw a father and son together in Chuck-E-Cheese playing air hockey. Both were wearing a hat and jacket. Is it comendable or down right ludacrious? I thought it looked ridiculous.<br /> Last year, I was at the Bronx Zoo. It was Wednesday (needless to say) and very hot and crowded. I was dressed in a shirt and tie. I met my neighbor there. He was in a hat and jacket. On one hand I felt some pressure that maybe I should be dressed that way. On the other hand, again it seemed outlandish to be dressed like that in such weather.<br /> When I think about it, I see before my eyes the picture of Reb Yaakov in the Art Scroll book wearing a white shirt with the sleeves rolled up (I think) at camp Agudah. Why wasn't he wearing a hat and jacket??? </p>
