Dress Code for Travelers

Derech Emet -

Kaf HaChaim commentary on Orach Chaim, Siman 110, Sif Katan 41:

When you travel on the road and the danger to Jews is more than the danger to other people, it is permitted to. change your garments [to appear less Jewish], on the condition that you not wear shaatnez [literally, kilayim].

This is the custom of most [Jewish] merchants and travelers.

I have made it a custom to take out "Traveler's Insurance" by dressing "incognito" whilst travelling in certain neighbourhoods.

Shalom and Regards,
RRW
