I expect people would look around for the
cameras, because you were playing a
role.

If you want to wear a cape and a three
cornered hat.....it's OK, by me.

Wait till October, then it won't be such a big deal.
Otherwise, Security will keep an eye on you but won't do anything if you don't steal anything. They will get used to you and just think you are weird. Homeland Security is a different matter altogether though. Beware of Men In Black.

I wish more people would go out dressed like that. I could live in 18th century clothes. To me it signifies intelligence (the history connection), individuality and intriguing. Screw the white bread parents with their little kids, it would do them good to see something different once in awhile anyways!

I don't think so. It might be different but it would defiantly bring a smile to my face. And I could use it as a learning lesson for my children that staring at or judging people is not right. As long as no buddy is getting hurt I don't see the jerk factor.

Nothing wrong with dressing the way you want, but I'm pretty certain loss prevention is on your tail the whole time you're in the store.....

In todays society people don't like anything out of the normal or anything that makes someone stand out too much. I personally don't think it is a big deal. I would wonder the story behind it if I saw it but I wouldn't hate you because I think it would freak my kid out. I would think my kids would probably like it. I wouldn't stress about it.

As long as you're not exposing yourself there is nothing wrong with that. In Walmart anyway. It would never do in Target.
