I've received significant social friction just trying to wear wool pants and a button shirt with a collar, to an office job. Seattle is an incredibly casual city/region. Coworkers at a major ISP ridiculed me so hard I had to go home and change into a t-shirt and jeans. After taking a contract at another very large company, I was again ridiculed for my outfit. I'm not even wearing a tie - just the coat and pants seem to offend people.

> Seattle Things are so casual here that I know an engineer who never wears socks, and wears Birkenstocks through the winter. > Major ISP The people with 'enable' on the core routers for the largest ASNs in the Vancouver-Seattle-Portland region are also the ones most likely to show up to work in an old ratty NANOG t-shirt and cargo shorts. If they're not working 100% remote.
