Why did Ickes wear that shirt?
In Saturday's meeting, he seemed to be the only one at the "grown-up's table" not wearing a suit.

Did he have a tee time at the golf course, and no time to change?

Is it just disrespect?

Does he see himself as some kind of rebel?

Is he a member of "Code Plaid"?

Does he want to be ignored?

Is this a way to stand out in a sea of suits?



I can post three times today. This is one.
:hi:

1. Maybe a jacket would get in the way of his wrist flipping/flicking. Dude did it every other syllable

2. He's a nerd?
I say that with apologies to all cool nerds everywhere.

3. because he is one of us, not the establishment in suits
or maybe he knows this is all over and it wont really matter so he didn't care to get dressed up.

4. I wouldn't read too much in to the shirt; it was a working meeting after all.
I like to dress up, but I would have worn something comfortable, with all the tension and thinking and having to speak on one's feet.
