That’s funny Menno. we were recently on vacation in Northern Israel on a frum moshav. It wasn’t exactly what we were used to in our hometown. My husband was definitely the only suit in shul, which was ironic, because we actually had forgotten to take the suit bag when we started out on the trip, but had to go back home for some other reason, and then remembered it the second time. Guess it would not have been so tragic had we left it afterall. My little boys, in their white shirts and dark pants, couldn’t understand how the kids were wearing regular polos like they would wear to school, or even less formal clothing. I tried to explain that the point is to wear something more dressy l’chavid shabbos than you would normally wear, and these kids probably wore other things during the week that they consider more casual.
