Did You Ever Wear A Pinstripe Suit In Field Service?

Or did you only wear solid colors? Will this bland, meaningless topic generate replies? Will I achieve "master" status before the month is out?

I presume you are directing this question to the guys here, although it wasn't unusual for women to wear business-type suits (with skirts, not trousers).

I've only had one pin-striped jacket in my life, and it looked quite smart on me. I still have it now, but it's a couple of sizes too small for me to wear. All my other jackets (I wear them for work, not meetings) are in solid colours, mostly black.

I once wore a beautifully feminine tie. Had a sort of Gibson Girl look going.

Got in trouble for wearing it. I guess only the brothers are supposed to have phallic symbols hanging down the front of their chests.

My first *suit* was for an interview while in college. I was trying to land a job after senior year and went to T.J. Maxx....found a really nice pinstripe, dark blue w/white stripes, and wore a white blouse that buttoned up to my chin.

The skirt was straight and past my knees. I had a very nice pair of navy pumps that coordinated. Glamour would have approved.

Yes, I wore it to the interview, yes I wore it in service. I was so proud of that suit. I even married my first husband in it, at the court house.

I will have to dig up a picture.....

LOL Nilfun.

Yes. I wore a pinstripe suit and I am a chick. My dad wore one too, so I guess that would give you at least 2 people who have.

Yeah I wore a pinstripe suit. navy with the stripes

Also had a dark green one with faint yellow stripes, A plain light blue one, also the usual dark suit. And patterned ties.

Used give talks wearing any of them. No one said a thing.

No, but I did wear maroon bell bottomed pants, and a burgundy crushed velvet bow tie - -with highly polished black platform shoes for awhile. (if I had a scanner I would post a picture) The year was 1971 - I had moved from a small town in the midwest to Los Angeles. Quite the fashion statement huh? LOL

My wife to be, Sabine married me anyway and promptly took charge of my wardrobe.

always a little behind the times.
