George Washington dressed well. He thought his clothing should reflect the dignity of a military and political leader. Sloven dress demeans the man and the nation he represents.
At the same time, he was neither a fashion trendsetter or follower. I enjoyed reading these words of Washington during my visit to Mt. Vernon: "A person who is anxious to be a leader of the fashion, or one of the first to follow it, will certainly appear in the eyes of judicious men to have nothing better than a frequent change of dress to recommend him to notice."

Could it be that 1 Peter 3:3-4 has something to say to menfolk?!!? Well, engineers aren't exactly trendsetters in fashion so this angle on Washington is new and interesting. Thanks.
Black robes. That's all I'm going to say.
