So Mr. Dad,
Now you are agreeing there is a middle ground? You were averring that it is either the hipsters, or a slob. Well it is not that way. And the overwhelming majority do not dress like slobs.
I won’t tell a person who wears a sport team kippah to remove it, but I do not think it is a kiddush hashem. Nowhere did I advocate telling them that.
And if you are going to comment about appropriate clothing for a blue collar job, you might want to include the part of my comment that is appropriate to that.
