How do you dress for work?

[Thrash1982]

I've seen pictures on here of all the stuff people carry with them on a daily basis. I'm curious how everyone carries it all in their normal business attire. Fortunately my office is pretty casual and I am able to wear black BDUs and a tucked in T-shirt or button up shirt. I suppose it could be described as business tactical. Normal carry for me is a CRKT M-16 4" folder, Pila G2L flashlight (little bigger than a Surefire 6P), Leatherman Micra and some odds and ends and other whatnot in a Spec-Ops brand Dry Cell Onboard in my right BDU cargo pocket. Unfortunately no firearms at work. So where does everybody stow their stuff?

I have a Maxpedition Fatboy and a Haliburton Zero that I use to tote stuff. I keep as much as possible out of my pockets.

Surefire L4 in right breast suit jacket pocket.

Strider Tac GB in left breast suit jacket pocket.

Coming soon: Seecamp to front right suit pants pocket.

Unfortunately, my jacket doesn't go with me everywhere (to lunch and stuff...even if I did take it with me, I'd leave it in the car), so I either need to take my jacket with me or come up with a better way....hey!

I can use my smartcarry to carry my GB and SF!!!!

Darn, I'm smart!

M-T-W I wear a suit (either pants suit or skirt/jacket).
Th blouse and nice slacks.
Fri blouse and jeans.

Carry is not an option; I'm in a Federal facility.

I'm attired in real business clothing on a daily basis: wool suit, silk tie, pressed shirt, shined shoes. The jacket comes off during the day, because we all know that the gents who wear their suit coats all day aren't the ones getting the job done.

That said, there is one product whose concealability is second to none, especially in when attired in the aforementioned garments: the Kel-Tec P32 (or P3AT). I'm not one to waste time with knives, especially when choosing self-defense products. Beside, hanging a Mag Lite or knife holster on one's slacks looks asinine. How does that old canard go? "Never bring a....."

And, Thrash? Um, the word "business" (as it relates to one's appearance) has no place in the same sentence as BDUs and T-shirt. In what field do you work that you are allowed to present yourself in such an ecletic manner?

I wish

Like Bubbles, I work on a Federal Facility, so no gun for me.

But, I wear jeans and a polo shirt most days, unless I know I am going to have to crawl in a bilge or a tank, then it's jeans and a T-shirt.

That one caused me to look twice.

Business formal baby! Bling bling

As an cube-drone (computer programmer) at a concrete and aggregates company, I could wear jeans and t-shirts every day if I wanted to (you should see some of the drivers and plant workers that show up here at the main office from time to time). I like to keep it a little more professional, so I wear khakis and button down shirts or company polo shirts (business casual). Blue jeans I save for Friday.

2.5" Gerber in right front pocket for cutting stuff. 4" Gerber IWB @4 o'clock that I hope to never have to use for anything...

I can't carry at work because I work in a Federal building. I do, however, have the privilege of a professional security force cordon around where I work (thanks, guys).

That said, I normally wear jeans and a dress shirt to work. Pretty casual, but I have been known to wear a suit when Asa Hutchinson or a Congressman is expected to drop by.

Slacks and a dress shirt. A P-3AT will go anywhere a wallet will go.

 

[Monkeyleg]

When it's cool outside, a bathrobe over a shoulder rig. Once it warms up, it's open carry until I have to take the dog out or run for cigs, at which time a vest goes on.

Nice thing about working at home. I just hope the business plan keeps this arrangement permanent.

Your basic Business Casual for me. One of the disadvantages of working for the gub-mint (State, not Federal in my case) is the big signs on the doors saying "No firearms unless you're a LEO."
