How do you dress for work?

[Dark Helmet]

Black cargo pants, basically black dress pants with big pockets on the sides. Great for carrying the extra cell phone. Collared shirt with 3 buttons at the neck. On days im visiting fancy customers i wear my Sharp Premium Service dress shirt. I tried wearing black dockers, hurt my feet. I have all black new balance runners.

I used to have some nice dress pants when i started the job. Realized pretty quick nice pants that are not the color black don't stay clean very long. Sadly this job makes me fat with out regular exercise so they don't fit any more either :P

I had it made for 10 years. Jeans and a nice shirt and tennis shoes. Then we had a customer who complained about our tech appearance, simply because she was a major Ricoh contract and was pissed that she had not got new machines. Everything else she tried to bitch about, we were in compliance with. Next thing I know it is dress up for everyone. No tennis shoes, slacks, no jeans and a nice shirt. I dress like blackcat4866 alot, doing the all black thing. Problem is, I am also the shredder guy, and that gets me covered in white dust on my black clothes. Also I can mess up some clothes because all my life when I worked on things, I never had to be neat and it is hard to get used too.

Jeans, a polo shirt and black sneakers. I'm there to fix a machine, not impress the end user. No one has ever complained.

Black pants & shoes, blue business shirt, Louis Vuitton tie (one for each day of the week), Oakley glasses, head full of gel.

We also had a client request us to wear long sleeve shirts only. Big client so all techs had to change from their usual short-sleeve shirt to the long sleeve version.

Black pants with short sleeve shirt with company logo. Some of the guys prefer long sleeves due to skin cancer problems, your right arm tends to get a bit sunburnt driving all day. Havn't had to wear a tie since the Service Manager got his caught in a Delta copier a long, long time ago. If anybody complains we just say its a Workplace Heath and Safety issue.

Techs that wear white shirts intrigue me, how can you do a proper full service and empty the waste toner without getting chewed out by the wife?

White shirts were quite painful always filthy, now black pants, black shoes/boots, company and manufacturer logos on black shirt (short or long). Gets a little warm in summer but easier to keep clean. Absolutly NO tie, have yet to meet the service manager that can get me to wear one for more than an hour at work.

Cheers.

We had a copier in a anhydrous ammonia plant. Was such a pain in the ass for 1 ARM350. No contact lenses, no facial hair, long sleve shirts, 15 minute video for saftey that was ment for welders and pipe fitters (morons who punch holes through op panels then place a call saying the machine jammed and does not work any more and then bitch about the $800 bill). The facial hair thing pissed me off the most, i usually have a gotee and they would force me to shave it off. The reason being if there was a leak the mask has to be tight fitting around your face. Ask to be shown a mask how ever? There was not one in sight. Glad they went with a 4th Xerox.

The first job I had doing this we had to wear ties. But the customers kept laughing at us. This is a rural area and most people around here wouldn't wear a tie at gun point. Now it's company supplied shirts and black pants. Blue shirts, when I started here they were pink and white stripes. Don't know who came up with that one.

[mikadonovan]

No ties for about 10 years. These days it's casual dress pants, like Dockers, and a golf type shirt. Needless to say, since I have a choice, dark colors are my style all year long. Whoever came up with wearing white shirts while up to the elbows in toner is brain dead.

[charm5496]

Kahki pants and company supplied polo shirt. Keeps things simple

[Jules Winfield]

Collared shirt (usually a golf shirt), jeans or shorts (depending on the weather) and some old school style Nikes.

[jonhiker]

Shirt and tie, casual slacks. the company supplies the shirts, including laundry service. before the latest merger, it was company logo dress shirt and no tie.

[neergish]

Blue chambray shirt with company logo, black pants, black shoes, fluorescent yellow socks.

[gwaddle]

Usually first I put on my underwear and socks, then shirt, then pants and finally shoes.
