So the question to you is...Can you go to work in your boxers?

And my business is no jeans unless undercover.

"Seriously, though- no, not on the sales end, although we don't do coats and ties either. Presentable slacks/openshirt/comfy shoes are the dress code around here."

That suffices for formal wear in Portland, doesn't it? Or do you need Birkenstoks?

At both jobs I wear jeans. At the HVAC company I get them from the uniform company. I could have gotten the dickies slacks type, but I like the durability of jeans since welding can be part of the job.

Polarbear: I always figures you for a top producer just based on your attitude and helpflness here on the boards.

I wear pretty much nothing BUT jeans. tree service work seems to be one of those jobs where the dress code simply states, if its looks halfway presentable and isnt a danger, wear it.

Shorts and boots everyday for me(never gets below about 5 degrees C) until I go underground then its overalls and gumboots. Haven't worn jeans for about 4 years, Im the wrong shape to be comfortable in jeans.

My last three jobs were in retail outlets of some sort, so I wore jeans just about all the time.

Since I work 3rd there aren't any women working. Actually I could care less if they have their cheeks hanging out, but the problem is that some of the holy rollers or other women get offended at the sight.
