Dress code for Oath ceremony
On my oath appointment letter it states that men must wear a coat & tie.
A coat? In San Antonio? In August?
Anyone have first hand knowledge of what most people wear at these things?

I wonder if a bolo tie would be acceptable.

Congrats! The time of your ceremony is fitting, seeing as how you have already assimilated.

Re: Dress code for Oath ceremony
Someone is making this stuff up.
The law says that you have to take an oath - it doesn't say what you have to wear when taking it.
I would show up dressed comfortably and neatly - whether or not you wear a tie should be entirely up to you - I certainly would not wear one. If they are stupid enough to not allow you to take the oath because you are not wearing a tie, sue them.
