My intent is not to hijack this thread, but it is true that people used to dress better.
When I was a kid and my Dad would fly for business (not with the Wright Brothers by the way), people used to dress up to fly. Now when I fly, half the people look like they are in their pajamas or gardening clothes!
If you look around in public, it looks like some of the people don't even have a mirror at home!
Pardon the minor digression here, please.
