The July issue of Esquire addresses an important issue: When restaurants indicate that jackets are required, may a diner remove his sport coat to eat, or is he obligated to wear it the entire time? While restaurants like New York’s La Grenouille are accommodating of an unjacketed meal, such is not the case at Spiaggia: “If somebody takes his jacket off,” manager Chad Bertelsman tells Esquire, “I will politely say, ’we do require gentlemen to wear jackets in the dining room.’”
