Well I cannot answer all of your questions, but I will try:

|WITH A TILLEY HAT:
|1. Does one wear white leather shoes?
   No, the prefered shoes are double toned oxfords.
|2. Are polyesther leisure suits required, and if so:
|    a.  must the leisure suit be plaid or are solid colors
ok?
|    b.  if solid colors are okay, must they have rust
colored accent threading?
    The preferred clothing consists of a polyester Nehru
jacket with a paisly ascot.
|3.  Should one remove one's Tilley when having the early
bird special at the local cafeteria?
     One never removes the Tilley hat, particularly at the
cafeteria and when eating grits and gravy for breakfast.
|4.  Are they really only for people hiding embarrassing
tattoos or scars (lobotomy or otherwise).
     No, electro shock therapy also qualfies as does large
dosages of lithium or depakote.
|5.  Is this what Jerry Seinfeld was talking about when he
said some people just "give up caring what they look like"?
     No, Jerry was referring to pants, not hats.  When you
get older, you will understand.
|6.  Does the Tilley company pay you guys to wear those
things?
    I don't know.  I am still trying to get the Beret
company to pay me.
|7.  Did you, inexplicably, get beat up alot in high school?
     No.  Usually it started in junior high.  By the time
they were in high school, they realized no one liked them.
|8.  Prefer the A/V club potluck dinner to the Senior Prom?
     Not if you could rent a Tilley Tuxeduo.
|9. Live in a home with no mirrors?
     People who eat grits and gravy don't look in mirrors.
|10. Ever ask your spouse's opinion before leaving home?
     Never ask a spouse's opinion unless you already know
the answer and are prepared to keep quiet.
|Love the Leicas, hate the Tilley's.  Actually may be
against the law to import to Texas.
   It is against the law.  Stetson (see Rabiner's post) are
much more appropriate.
|To each there own.  Kirk

You also need a 4 inch wide tie-dyed strap on the Leica to
have a coherent image.

But then, this group finds Rolexes declasse.
