    After that usually I end up wearing the suit until the end of the contract.
    So you're the smelly bastard that never visits a dry cleaner!

      Apparently the Coop Bank didn't allow facial hair not so long back.

      So most of the women there had to start shaving..

            I did a project some years back where our team was the only one which didn't dress down. There were 7 of us, on a project team of about 80, but because our team leader didn't "believe in dressing down", none of us were allowed to.

            He also didn't approve of shirts that weren't white, and patterned or outlandish ties were also forbidden.

              Isn't a suit minus tie and jacket just a pair of pants and a shirt?

                Most of us include a pair of trousers, socks and shoes.

                  I'm just remembering that time when you read the dress code wrong and turned up on a job with just a tie:

                    Turn up in a Stormtrooper costume. Start a clientco trend, and then, who knows who could turn up?
