BINGO!

Years ago, I made myself some promises...

I'll never work a job where I have to wear a suit.
I'll never work a job where they want me to pee in a cup.

Life is toooooo short.

No matter how you do it, I think that's the key bit.

1. I have an Aerostich two piece Roadcrafter and it is the best riding gear I've found. Mine is about 15 years and about 100K miles old. If an Aerostich is too much $, there are lots of lesser brands, I also have a Marsee suit which is a good value.

2.Keep a pair of dress shoes at work and ride in a pair of motorcycle boots.

3. Keep your suit coats at work.

For dry weather, cheap, disposable Tyvek jumpsuits. They will seal out all of the dirt. You will need to backpack your good shoes, though.

They are like $5 each.
