flack from who?
I don't even pay attention.
I don't even own a suit that fits.
We once had a high council guy give a talk in sacrament meeting on the need for men to wear white shirts and not "fruity" colored shirts. I was on the third row wearing a neon lime green shirt.
It's such stupidity.
In my home ward as a young man, the rule was that you had to wear a tie to pass the sacrament. Color of shirt didn't matter. At least one subsequent ward has had white shirts as a requirement.
If you go to a Melchizedek Priesthood leadership meeting in the stake, it's like a white-shirt fest.
I think a valid reason to break the clothing barrier is to blaze the way for others in the future, i.e. combat the mullahs, so that it's no big deal.
