Sober. he brought it up plenty of times. Both my dad and I are very low key as far as our dress goes. My brother spends more on clothes than his entire family combined. He's an insurance salesman believes that dressing nicer makes him more successful, which may be true considering his typical clientele. He does very well for himself financially. Better than I do as a dentist. I think it was well intentioned, he just wanted to get us both a really nice gift at some point in his life. Close to my 30th birthday, I told him not to worry about it if he was having second doubts. It was just bizarre to me when he tried to get me to pitch in for the gift for my dad, after not getting me one. Maybe he thought the discrepancy between the costs of our birthday gifts that year would be offensive to me for some reason. I didn't care though. My dad definitely wouldn't.
