MCC Dress Standards

Random thread, but does anyone know if hoodies are allowed in the MCC? About to push off on a visitor pass and just wanted to know, they're website has got some code error and won't let me on.

As long as you're wearing a collared shirt under it thats clearly visible. Its all about the collar.

If you are on an adult ticket they might not let you in with one. I think this is the case but I'm not sure.

Yes they will. As Timmy said all they care about is the collar. I have worn a hoody into the MCC on a few occasions.

Wore a hoody to the Hall of Fame game last weekend, but had a collared polo on underneath so everything was fine. Was on a visitor pass too.

Don't wear trackies though. I arrived at the Essendon Richmond match in Round 21 last year. We had MCC tickets and I took special care in ensuring that I wore a collared shirt. The knob at the door wouldn't let me in because I was wearing trackies. We had to run like hell to a nearby Target to buy some jeans and we got back 10 minutes into the first quarter.

Stupid rule, that, what century is this?

I reckon if you went to another turnstile you would have gotten right through

 

[Squarky]

Collared shirt with trackies?

jeeeeeeezus.

Track pants are for around the house, the gym, and sport. Nowhere else.

Correct, they should of banned you for poor fashion sence.

Good, I don't want bogans like you cluttering up my MCC.

You are the reason the implement dress codes.

Yes - but you must wear suspenders and a bra.

It isn't the rule that's stupid. It's on the website

"Not Acceptable: Men


Thongs, scuffs, dilapidated footwear, gumboots, moccasins, slippers and ugg boots
T-shirts, singlets, torn or ripped clothes, even if “designer” tears
Shirts not supported by a collar including crew neck shirts (skivvies and rollneck pullovers excepted)
Football, running, athletic, bike, tennis and board shorts
Tracksuit pants
etc"

If you want to wear track suit pants, the Members isn't for you.

...and Jim Beam piss ups on any Connex train out in the outer suburbs of Melbourne on a Friday Night

 

[Dont be a lemon]

I do believe the two men on the right are dressed to MCC standard.

You're also expected to only turn up to a fraction of events on at the MCG.

Apologies for dragging up an old chesnut. I'm going to the cricket on a visitor pass and am wondering if I can wear cargo shorts with a collared shirt and closed shoes.

Thanks for the advice.

 

[Brad Goodman]

That will be fine. Pretty much any shorts that aren't boardies or sport-specific (like basketball shorts or footy shorts) are OK.

 

[nick1408]

Cheers mate. Much appreciated.

Pretty sure you dont even need closed shoes. Open toes shoes like Sandals will be fine. Thongs are a no-no.

Pisses me off that we can't hire a good old beer wench there.

 

[Jamurp]

Did someone in this thread actually try to wear tracksuit pants into the MCC? Farce.

 

[LightTower4]

Excluding those in training mode, only bogans wear tracky dacks in public.
Exception might be a trip to the milk bar on a Sunday morning.

This.

Thanks for that. Although, sandals aren't really my thing.

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

What do you wear with your toga then?
