It's no more a costume than the jeans and t-shirts most of “us” wear and definitely similar to the business suits seen on white collar workers.

No, no, I don't buy it. This is pretentious. What is the point? I hope its not “We are more holy than thou, look at us” … “we separate from the unholy, look at us” … though I think it is.
