Of course. My father started out in the airline industry as a baggage handler and worked his way up to a senior executive position at Continental airlines. Most of my later childhood my dad wore a suit to work. He was also a CPO and later an officer in the Navy reserves. Those dress uniforms were "suits" as well.
Myself on the other hand, I've never owned or wore a suit aside from my Marine dress uniform. |

Wore dress shirt and slacks to work every day, and a jacket/coat when it was cold and to church
|
|
Quoted: Yeah, and he made me do it too. I hated dressing up back then, and I still hate it now. https://i.postimg.cc/0QGCwkNW/1963-Easter-Suit.jpg View Quote Hey, at least your jacket was cut correctly, unlike the too short too tight of today. lol |
|
A suit of clothes. Could be jeans, could be bibs. He was buried in a "business suit"
|
|
Yes, he was a truck driver most of his adult life but always had a suit for weddings, funerals church etc. funny thing, he had a t shirt with a vest and tie silkscreened on to it and he wore it to make deliveries
One day and got a lot of compliments and “why are you dressed up today? Questions. |
|
He wore a suit 6 days a week.
5 days a week for work and on Sunday for Church. |
|
My father was a junior-high and high-school band director.
Do the math. |
|
If memory serves, my dad owned 3-4. I can remember him wearing them several times a year. Sometimes just for date night with my mother. My dad worked in a paper mill for much of my childhood, so I think he liked the change from time to time.
|
|
Every damn day.
Except Saturdays. One of the e reasons you’ll likely never find me in one. |
|
Weddings and funerals. He didn't always wear one on Sunday, either.
|
|
|
|
Yep, every work day plus other occasions like nice dinners out, etc.
|

Only occasionally. My Dad had a couple of degrees in electrical engineering (From Cal-Poly) but he also spent a couple of decades doing sex offender recidivism studies for the State Hospital (Forensics Program) in Salem. He wore a suit on the days he had to give presentations to the new staff on the latest and greatest support plans for offenders (I personally thought that shallow graves after an injection of 158 grains of lead to the cranium would work just fine but Dad tried to keep shit "Professional" ).
|
|
Yes, but not until later in life, during his tenure as a college president. I was an adult at that point.
When I was growing up, he mostly wore BDUs. |
|
There are pics of him in Nehru, tuxedo, leisure suit, brushed denim & regular old fashioned 2 button suits.
He got married in a white dinner jacket with black bowtie in the late 1950s to my mom, since that was the fashion. |
|
|
Dad was in the USAF until I was about 16 or so. He retired Lt. Colonel.
So he wore a uniform every weekday. I guess that qualifies as a suit? |
|
He never owned a suit that I remember, but he had several sport coats & slacks. I have pics of him in his younger years, handsome & quite dapper.
|
|
Church, funerals, maybe to his ww2 reunion functions.
Daddy never was the Cadillac kind?? |
|
My dad is an attorney so yeah, most days. Never went a week without seeing him in one for sure.
|
|
My father was a working class business owner.
He was a dapper individual when he and my mom went out. I miss them. |
|
Quoted: Dad was a small-town businessman and I recall him always in a suit until the early 1970s. When I was in grade school his daily attire would let him fit in with everyone in this photo. http://www.albionmich.com/history/histor_notebook/images_08/AlbionBusinessmenca1950.jpg View Quote Back in those days wearing a hat was just important as the suit & tie. |
|
|
I think the last time was his wedding.
If he has to dress up for a wedding or something it's always a nice shirt and jacket, clean blue jeans and his dress cowboy boots, hat and western tie. |
|
|
Weddings and funerals. He's had the one suit since probably the 70s.
|
|
Not really. Funerals and weddings. My dad worked a grey-collar job. Technician-type where you needed a degree yet a suit wouldn’t be appropriate at all. On the other hand, I have what most would consider a white-collar job yet I don’t wear a suit to work when I’m in front of customers. Khakis/collared shirt if needed.
|
|
He wore a tux to my sisters wedding. Told me it was a waste of money and he wouldn’t do it for mine.
|
|
My dad only wore a suit to church or funerals, and as he got older church attire was optional.
|
|
|
Not even at his own funeral. I never saw him in a tie either.
Old school farmer. |
|
I'm 58 years old and the first time I saw my dad in a suit was for his wife's funeral last month. First time ever.
I on the other hand wear one each and every day for my IT job at a fortune 500 financial company. Crazy. |
|
He was blue collar worker so not commonly but when the occasion called for it. Weddings, funerals or some type of formal event.
|
|
He wore a suit and tie, and carried a brief case, every day to work.
|
|
Quoted: Dad was a golf pro and always wore dope attire. Think Pink shirt with purple plaid pants. Dude pulled more ass than a rock star. View Quote (Nice Hat) It Looks Good On You Though ::: Al Czervik (Rodney Dangerfield) ::: Caddyshack |
