Madam, - Barry Coffey (August 14th) deplores the declining sartorial standards of theatre-goers. If he thinks that wearing jeans and sneakers is bad, he should be thankful that no-one turned up wearing those footless black leggings under a demin mini-skirt, or displaying thongs or boxers above their low-slung jeans. - Yours, etc,
JOE PHELAN, Windsor Court, Blackrock, Co Dublin.
