[SBE] Suits

[Henry M. Seiden]

If I'm doing installation work anywhere, I wear the appropriate  
clothing for that job and no one seems to have a problem.

If meeting in an office environment however, I dress to fit in. If I  
don't know what their clothing / dress code is (example: manager wear  
suits, worker-bees wear office casual, etc.) then a tie, business  
slacks and business shoes.

General rule- dress for the people you are going to be meeting or a  
small step up to impress.
