=================================
This prompts me to comment on films of the past, where the action takes 
place in California or similar climes, but the the men are always 
wearing a jacket and tie, even indoors. They never seemed to be wearing 
summer clothes. Did people in general dress like that then? Was it a 
case of self-discipline and ignoring the discomfort?
