Agreed. And I'm sure there are people who'd say that if they "dress the part," they're more confident and it helps them shoot better.

But "dressing up" to look like an expert doesn't only happen in our sport... I remember one wilderness canoe trip where one of the participants turned up with both a wetsuit and a drysuit, and wore them, saying they were "more comfortable." It was August in Southern Quebec, and the rest of us were wearing shorts and T-shirts. She ended up with heatstroke, but at least she looked cool.
