My gramps wore a shirt and tie to work everyday. Prolly a suit some days…

American flag tie tack or lapel pin. He was a WWII vet.

On weekends he still wore a ironed button up shirt.

He may of been puttering around doing woodworking.. and his shirt may of had paint on it.

But it was still ironed when he put it on…
My uncle Guiher pretty much always wore a shirt and tie with dress pants if he was going to do business on the square. (down town Winterset is on a square around the County Courthouse) Only in the summer did he wear a short sleeve shirt with no tie. My friend's uncle Clyde always wore a shirt and tie, other than the hottest days of summer. Those guys were young men in the WWI and between the war's years. It apparently was a personal tradition and they carried it until their final days.
