Question Dear sir
I am contacting you regarding two manner question.It is:What should I do with my tie during dinner at restaurant, and should I take off suit while dining.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours sincerely
Juraj Križanić
Answer Dear Juraj,
Thanks for asking these excellent questions. You should do nothing with your tie. I advise keeping your suit jacket buttoned to prevent the tie from falling onto your plate. I also advise not taking your suit off while dining. Other people would be startled. I hope this helps. Jay
