It would appear that they need a press.

Not the best photos and not photos of the best dresser, but I like this thread and would like to bump it.

Dark grey flannel suit; blue and white bengal-striped shirt; navy blue silk knitted tie; black captoe Oxfords not seen.

Leave it to the Italians!

http://www.automobilemag.com/features/news/1303_marchionne_sets_strict_dress_code/

AUBURN HILLS, Michigan -- Besweatered Sergio Marchionne has issued an internal memo requiring all Chrysler white-collar employees to wear white collars. And suits and neckties for men. Suits or pantsuits for women. The new requirement represents a major policy reversal from the man who turned around Chrysler after its 2009 bankruptcy. Marchionne is known for his black sweaters, worn over open-collar shirts. One source says Marchionne hasn't been seen wearing a suit since Pope John Paul II received him at the Vatican in the mid-1990s. The 60-year-old Marchionne told employees in the email memo that he would adhere by his own requirement.

"The new policy is considered especially draconian in that it takes effect immediately, on Monday, April 1."

Not sure why this thread died. Here is my conservative business dress for today:


It's a "budget" ensemble by SF standards:
Suitsupply Napoli suit, TM Lewin shirt, TheTieBar tie, Brooks Brothers cotton handkerchief. Not shown are my black Allen Edmonds Fifth Avenues.
