I don't care about the blue suit, just the missing steel bracelets.

    Doesn't matter if they still let him go even though he doesn't respect the dress code.

    How does a 34-count felon pass through the countries?

    Many nations do not allow convicted felons to visit. Italy is not one of them.

    Pretty sure all of them will have forms that can be filled to allow access to felons with approval of the border services, it's the case in Canada and is the process that Bush had to go through to visit and that Trump will have to go through to visit as well. He will be let in, but the paperwork will have to be filled.

    I fucking hate formalwear rules.

    Dark blue should count as a "dark suit", shouldn't it? If the expectation was "wear a black suit", then the rule should have been "wear a black suit".

    Even just having to wear a suit at all is stupid: "You must wear a special kind of jacket that doesn't properly close in front, creating a little window through which people can see the shirt you're wearing underneath, and a ribbon of pretty fabric you wear draped around your neck."

    Meanwhile, women are allowed to just use reasonable discretion as long as they're wearing a dress. The style of dress isn't specified (but of course most women will interpret it as "show a little bit of bare chest, but not too much, because it's a funeral")

    I wonder if future people will see the suit and tie and think about it similarly to how we look at paintings of people from the 17th century wearing Ruffs, and concluding that they looked silly. I sure do think ties look silly.

  • Ties are especially ironic because they derived from a time when buttons - made by necessity out of rare items like ivory or whale bone - were expensive as fuck and it was cheaper to close up your neck with a strip of scrap fabric. Most people today can afford plastic buttons.

    I agree if the expectation was for people to wear black only, then the text of the code should have said "black" and not "dark."

    Formal Dress Codes suck, but at the least the events are usually short and you can at least take off the tie and jacket, maybe roll up the shirt sleeves if they're long.

    Physically Trumpy boy looks so weak. Weak enough that he can't even sit up straight properly and is forced to hunch over.

    Ah the middle of the room where everyone can see and hear us, excellent spot for a private meeting.

    I am feeling called out today because the only suit I own is dark blue, and I do wear it to funerals. Am I supposed to own a black suit? Do people feel disrespected? Nobody has ever said anything...

    You're not going to the Pope's funeral.

    Honestly, most people will never attend a very formal funeral. Wear your blue suit. If you come to mine I hereby grant permission to wear jeans and a band or nerd T-shirt. It's very indicative of what I wore most of my life up to this point even if I dress better now when I leave the house.

    I don't think most people care as long as you are trying.

    You wear your dark blue suit son. It's obviously respectful. That's all that matters.

    Where I'm from only close friends and family would wear a suit and dark blue would be absolutely fine. Black jeans and a nice jacket would be spot on here too in nearly all circumstances.

    I'll tell you what though if you got an invite to the pope's funeral I'd bet you money you'd pony up for black. That's all folks are saying here.

    Blue suit? ... oh, I'm wearing blue and not black because I'm not sad ... I'm just here so that everyone can see me.

    I see a lot of comments on this idiot and his blue suit. This is the only fucking suit he owns. A large, off the rack, kmart looking thing.

    He probably doesn't even know the difference (or names) of colours.

    Looks like it may have been brightened slightly?
