> Has anyone ever noticed that Andy always wears long sleeves?

Good question. I've noticed (as I'm sure others have) that in season one and
(I think) a few times in season two Andy has the sleeves of his uniform
rolled up to expose his forearms. But I've hardly ever, or never, noticed
that later in the series. Of course, I can't ever remember Barney's uniform
sleeves rolled up, but that would go against his buttoned-down uniform
appearance.

Also, when they're out picnicking or whatever, Barney often wears his
short-sleeved button-down shirt untucked, whereas Andy still seems to prefer
a long-sleeved button-down, tucked-in, without the sleeves rolled up or
anything. (Maybe some trained noticers can point out more details and what
I've missed.)

Maybe Barney is just a "work hard, play hard" type of guy. He likes to look
neat in his uniform around the office, or with the old salt-and-pepper at a
dance, but when he's "bachin' it" at Mrs. Mendlebright's or at a picnic he
takes it easy with the dress. Andy's style of dress doesn't fluctuate as
much; his favorite garb for a casual date seems to be his shirt (with or
without tie) and sweater vest, and he only wears the blue suit on more
formal occasions.

A question for the lucky ones who have seen Mayberry RFD: what does Andy
wear in his wedding to Helen? What about Barn?
