Being so concerned with appearances, none of the photos above give an indication as to your support of the issue. Sell one of the suits and use the money to take a picture while holding a "sign of protest" and you'd be more effective. (Sorry, can't read the tiny buttons.) ... more

I wear a suit to work and so, by necessity, I wear a suit out of work a lot, too. In the lead-up to the invasion of Iraq, there were a series of anti-war rallies starting from the State Library in Melbourne from about 5pm each Friday. It was great to see the mix of students, retirees, professionals, tradespeople and children joining together to promote peace. It occurs to me that wearing a suit to a protest makes perfect sense if you're the kind of person who ordinarily wears a suit. Does this not happen in the U.S.?
