The kilt is a nice touch but how does one climb a ladder and maintain ones modesty/ dignaty.
Professional or not?
Professional or not?
I want to make 2 comments about a dress code.
1. When I hire someone to come to my house and do something, if they look like a slob, I don't call on them again. When the guy looks like a professional, that is who I recommend to other people. If your on a big construction job and not in the public eye, it is a little different.
2. Whatever you decide to wear, watch what kind of materials you wear. Use cotton, not any synthetic material in case of a flash.

I wear 100% cotton full buttons down the front short sleeve shirts with a collar in the summer and long sleeve in the winter. Two front pockets for pens and volt ticks, etc... trousers are a 100% (or nearly so) cotton short in the summer cut near the knees (similar to fed Ex) and a good grade of work jean in the fall and winter (carhart etc...) as for baggy, I think that if you are working, the clothes should be cut for work.. loose or relax fit allows you to bend and move properly...baggy are unprofessional..also the natural waist line is important...no pants around your a** on my helpers or he wont be coming back... No holes.. at all.., and as previously stated in substance, I am not going to put someone in a customers house that does not positively portray my company image.. if he is too lazy to get a haircut or shave that day, what other shortcuts does he routinely take? My company thrives on positive references..

before I went to the expense of buying the shirts, as has been mentioned here, I would look at the OSHA requirements in regard to protective wear.
It's been a while since I looked into it, but I believe even the simplist of task requires all cotton (perhaps burn resistive) shirts and perhaps long sleeve (sorry I don't recall specfifics).. this is one of those situations of "a good deed going sour"..you might provide shirts which, if not done so with OSHA in mind, will be costly if there is ever a burn injury.

I work inside of a manufacturing facility. Standard dress is Cotton Carhart pants, cotton shirts, short and long sleeve. Any time we switch, open a cabinet door, test live circuits, we wear the always cool in the summer Nomex/Cotton coveralls (seems to be most of the time), hard hat, class 00 gloves. When ever we throw a 110 or 220 vac breaker in a lighting panel or similar its all cotton clothes and safety glasses. Thanks NFP 70E! Safety first, comfort last. Think of it this way, if your not safe you might not be around to be uncomfortable.

Gentlemen, you will be pleased to learn that these garments are one of the few things still NOT made in China. They are in fact, according to their website, "Proudly made" right here in the good ol' US of A. Seattle WA, to be specific.

Clean, no stains, rips, fresh Pocket Tee; and clean jeans. Image, its what will drive your success. Tees have logo on pocket and back, it reinforces your name and image. You will get your tees ripped stained worn etc. get about 12 a year good quality 100% cotton. The printer will help you get a design together and you will be set. Also use a subtle cologne to impact the senses and reinforce your image. A fresh Tee for each service call may be called for during the summer or after a really long rummage under a house or in an attic. Keep a couple of extra clean Tees in the van. Nobody likes the large stinky old fat electrician rummaging around the house.
