Well now, I have not worn trousers for 9½ years (and have not owned any for about 8½), but then I have been retired for just over 10 years so, as Martin finds, it is easier than for those still working.

Because I was a Senior Manager (General Manager in fact) of the Company for over 30 years it would not have been possible for me to wear anything other than a pin-stripe suit whilst at work. However, after I retired, I was offered the chance of returning to the Company for two months on a part-time consultancy basis (I like to think they could not manage without me ) - and I wore the kilt every day! Sometimes it was a traditional kilt with some of the accessories, and sometimes it was a Utilikilt with useful pockets.

I understand perfectly that Companies have a right to expect their employees to dress to certain standards, especially if in contact with the public, but when I returned my job carried no title, I was not likely to be meeting the public and anyway, I was not an employee - so I dressed for comfort.

Take care,
Ham.
