Funny!  I start wearing them again about now.  Well?   It is, kinda, sorta,
spring!?  Isn't it?  Well, maybe not quite yet!  But, close to it!  

 

I usually wear dress pants and shirts.  But, NOT TIES.  I HATE
TIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I pulled an old upright action off from the
bench once just as I was ready to return it when my tie caught it as I was
backing away smashing it onto the floor.  Haven't worn one since.   There
was a slight hint of blue in the air after that.

P.S.  I really enjoyed using scissors on the tie in revenge.

further, I like to say that agree with David.

How many times haven't we yanked out a grand action for one reason or
another only to hear that horrible sound as if sand paper were grinding on
the key frame and key bed as we pull it out?  You can bet that I clean that
crap out of there before I set that thing on my lap making my white pants
black.

White pants?????
I used to wear dress pants until I got tired of replacing them after
snagging them on the rough underside of keybeds.

 

 

I now wear jeans, ALL the time, nice dress shirts but I don't have to
replace my pants so often or worry about staining them with the detris that
invariably comes out of an action cavity along with the action.
I've seen techs wear t-shirts & shorts, I'm not that relaxed, just
practical. If I'm likely to end up on someone's floor fixing or adjusting a
pedal, I may as well dress for it.
