“As to dressing in a mechubad way, those who feel a clean pair of jeans and a freshly laundered sport shirt is not mechubad, please explain how the uniform of many a yeshiva leit, consisting of a wrinkled white shirt, often unlaundered, a pair of trousers that have not seen an iron in months, and worn out unpolished loafers, mismatched with an ill fitting jacket and topped by a frayed worn hat, is mechubad. “
Good point. But to be fair, halacha actually dictates that a talmid chochom is NOT supposed to have even a spot on his shirt. So they really are not doing the right thing if the clothing is soiled and wrinkled.
