Re: Wearing Suits to Lodge
How many pairs of pants?
Also, I'm not sure if this message board has the expertise to advise you on proper clothes for a Masonic lodge in Mobile, Alabama. We are humble and unpretentious folk, and have rarely even glimpsed the heights of taste and luxury that you mention so casually.

I once heard of a guy stuck in Mobile - he had the Memphis blues.

Re: Wearing Suits to Lodge
Seriously, you wore a seersucker suit year round to lodge meetings in Michigan?
I believe that Ralph Kramden and Ed Norton wore normal street clothes. Ignore the hucksters like fxh with their disingenuous advice to ask a nearby member.
Wear a tuxedo after 6PM.

Remember to ask your tailor to make the special lodge trousers with easy right leg roll-up. I believe that Salvatore Ambrosi offers a special roll-up cuff with a button. However, you will have to wait several months for delivery. Remember to wear long socks too.

That was in UK not Mobile and even so I'd wager that they didn't do it past the late 60's

Re: Wearing Suits to Lodge
In Great Queen Street, Holborn - Masonic HQ - they still wear what the yanks call strollers. Black jacket with striped trousers. First Thursday of the month in the Newton Arms and Pillars of Hercules pubs. Interest selection of luggage to carry God knows what as well. Could be a good igent hobby. Sadly I cannot join as it is against my religion.

Aha! NJS is a Mason, eh? Sartorial conspiracy buffs take note. These natty Masons, they're up to something.
