My former gig was "dress casual" and I am very "particular" about crisp dress shirts ('HEAVY STARCH PLEASE!'), dress slacks, etc...so my cleaning bill was pretty high, I only wore items once, and then back to the cleaners... Now my work duds are polo shirts, cargo pants and jeans...no big cleaning bills, I just launder myself, no "crispness" needed... -- Best Greg |

That was the best styling move in the last few decades. You can bet that I'm a pretty cool dude. The last time I wore cargo pants was in high school. Those had bell bottoms, these don't. ![]() |

One word: knits Nearly all of my work clothes are jersey knits or crinkle polyester. I've got some cotton pants for the dog days of summer, and I just don't care if they're wrinkles. Even if I ironed them, they'd be wrinkled by the time I drove to work. Cindy Hamilton |

Linen is nice in the summer but it wrinkles terribly, too. |
