Oh, please don't go there -- my age is more advanced than yours.

Did you have me confused with DeltAlum on location, maybe?

What would you say they are expected at in North Carolina, in the sense that you'd seem like you were wound too tight if you showed up in something else?

I would say there are some kinds of parties -- say, a pig pickin' or an oyster roast -- at which jeans or chinos would be equally appropriate/expected. (Even that could vary, though. For example, I wouldn't wear jeans to a pig pickin' being thrown to honor an engaged couple -- a very common thing in Eastern NC. But just a run-of-the-mill, 'cause-it's-my-birthday or 'cause-we-wanted-to pig pickin', sure.)
What's going to lead to some snickering about being wound too tight is if no one
ever sees you in jeans.
