Well, if that were your intention, it didn't come across well at all. At least not to me, and as far as I can see not to anyone else.

But if you were starting like Jewel, you're also following his example of changing the scenario in mid stream. You clearly indicated in the original scenario that you were dressed distinctively differently, and intentionally so, to make a point that others should dress comfortably instead of formally. Now you say that you're dressed in basically unexceptional clothing except for the fabric. If you really are unexceptional, how are you making any statement of belief or principle that others should recognize? It's only BECAUSE others react strongly to your attire that you are able to amke a point.

Wearing clothing that is basically indistinguishable from a black pants suit doesn't qualify as being an eccentric or kook.
