I’ve gone from mechanic to tux in 15 minutes at the lodge. Don’t see why it’s an issue for so many people, but I’m not in their shoes.
Seeing as In The US there commonly is a meal ahead of lodge There should be some flexibility I’d imagine... shorts are more comfy however so I do understand.I’ve gone from mechanic to tux in 15 minutes at the lodge. Don’t see why it’s an issue for so many people, but I’m not in their shoes.

Suits are not that uncomfortable.
Honestly, that just boggles my brain. Even though I am a "young Mason" I am still very old school and wouldn't consider going to Lodge, Church, a business dinner, a wedding, or a funeral in anything other than a suit and tie.
Same here!No Problem, you would still be welcomed in our lodge.....
Down here is Victoria Australia, We all wear dinner suites. Am travelling to Hawaii in the coming weeks. I will be attending lodge up there so I am having similar problems. Don't want to be too overdressed.
Absolutely!I think overdressing is always better than underdressing. I'd rather come off pretentious than disrespectful.
Most of the lodges in my area have relaxed dress standards. Polo shirts and slacks being the norm. However, since I am Master of my mother lodge this year I do wear coat and tie since I am the "face" of the lodge.I only see Brothers with tails when had a function...looks nice, I like the Shriners Dress up...
There is no such thing as over dressed when attending any Masonic function be it regular meeting, unless stated casual dress, then I'm sneakers and sweats for the most part, but I do wash my face and brush my teeth...LOLDown here is Victoria Australia, We all wear dinner suites.

Thanks for the advice. I think I'm forgetting who I'm going to see. I'm going to see the most understanding, forgiving people I could ever hope to meet(Freemasons). I think ill be fine.If I'm visiting a Lodge I'm dressed in my Black and Whites
