Submitted for your consideration: a photo of the posted dress code for The Mineshaft, the renowned leather bar and private club in NYC's Meatpacking District which was in operation from 1976-1985.

Keeping in mind the era in which this was adopted, what are your first impressions? Would you have been a patron? What are some of the ripple effects of this you feel in today's community?
