I always dress to shoot, last time I showed up nude we had to shoot prone. (pic banned)

Go to an ISSF Match and see everyone in their competition shooting get up. Looks like a lot of serious cyclists.

On Classic Cocktail Night - I feature Vesper Martini's and always dress the part.

I still have my Shooting Coat with all the straps and pads from when I shot three position High Power in my teens.

Everyone is lucky I even bother to get dressed anymore.

Does it matter?
For bullseye pistol, it really doesn't matter.
Personally, I would think 'hmmm, interesting - but who cares?' And, not give it another thought,

First, I live in Alabama. Yes, it is hot and humid in the summer - which seems to be about half the year. I dress appropriately. If you go to the range in 100 degree weather and 98% humidity, in short order you’re going to look like someone turned a garden hose on you, regardless. I am a slave to comfort and 67 years old. If it’s cold enough, I love my Liberty overalls (lots of pockets). I ain’t pretty, but I sure am comfortable!

Things have changed over the years. There was a time when you would not be allowed to step on a Tennis Court unless you were in "Tennis Whites". Not even fun for guys to get put in the hospital anymore. White Hose, Skirts and Little Nursing School Hats, replaced by "Scrubs" and a lot of male nurses. I entered the work force in the Mad Men Era after having grown up in an IBM household. Sport Jacket Tie and Slacks was not acceptable. A suite, preferably three piece etc.

Remember everybody in a suit and hat on an airplane? Now people have pillows tied on their necks and wear pajamas and house shoes

 

[Geronimo Jim]

I shoot Cowboy action as well so yes I dress up almost every weekend.

 

[mike a]

Hilarious. The cowardly line costume almost looks like a ghillie suit.

Take the Delta 201 out of Atlanta to Joburg, 16+ hours in the air. It looks like a pajama party.

Atlanta is the origin of most of the pajama parties

Off topic(ish) but,

Do any of you guys dress up for competitions? Would you guys feel its cringy if you saw someone wear a suit for bullseye competitions? Pretty sure my midlife crisis is onto me in ways of not dressing like I'm 15 anymore instead of fast cars.

I would never dress impractically, but if Payne Stewart could dress to the old standards for golf and pull it off, I’m sure shooters could wear outdoors attire from 70 years ago and look smart too.

As for dressing on airplanes, when that experience became a body stuffing exercise, dressing well became fundamentally stupid. Only first class passengers can enjoy that luxury.

How about some loudmouth pants like john daly?

Golf courses are the few places I see that still have dress codes. Those are even getting less strict.

I do not know about yoose guys but unless I am fixin something messy I make sure I am in business casual and presentable when I appear in public. It is out of respect for myself. Mowin the lawn or fixin the car, I am in grubbies. Restocking the fridge, headed to a match, visiting the local gun store, nice clean shirt and slacks are in order. Personal grooming is part of it too.

I see those slobs in the grocery store in pajama's, slippers, and dirty sweat pants and cannot believe that they have so little self esteem that they allow themselves to appear like that.

It is such a shame to see a person allow themselves to be seen in such a condition of disrepair.

Don’t judge a book by it’s cover @crankythunder , some of those people may be quite content with themselves and have found the key to a happy and fulfilling life. Conversely I’ve known some very well dressed and groomed miserable people.

Amen to that. Just look at those perpetually dysfunctional Hollywood types. IIRC, Al Capone and Frank Nitti wore the best money could buy.
