I respect the suit.

Too much jewelry can ruin it all. Nice watch, 1 ring, don't go to flashy with cuff links or tie pin, stay away from ear rings.

Wearing a suit is perilous in Portland. It's a fast easy way to get ostracized. People in suits get fucked with all the time, they often get terrible service and snide comments in public. I don't dig it.

Bad service isn't right. I like the idea of occasionally going out being really well dressed but my job (programmer) doesn't require it and I can't afford it. Oh well. I'm guessing the bad service comes from the assumption that if you wear a suit, you're working for a bank or some evil multinational. But that's not necessarily the case!
