or when they first go for a professional job interview

lunatic59 · Mar 14, 2017

You haven't interviewed recently, have you? Very few candidates wear suits, even for professional positions.

Really? I mean it doesn't bother me at all, but I'm in a minority. All my colleagues expect a person turning up for a software dev interview to be suited. I don't know why, because the whole team here is clad in jeans and t-shirts.

Is it weird that I don't own a Suit ?

Nope, I don't own one either

I just wear some nice jeans, or black jeans, or perhaps even some khakis and a nice shirt if I need to go to a wedding or funeral. Judge me if you want, I don't care.

No suit-up for me, either!

It's been many, many years since I've owned a suit...

Scruffy!

I love wearing a suit, i rarely get the chance to wear one though.

lunatic59 · Mar 14, 2017

I think the only people who wear suits any more are salesmen lawyers or politicians.

I'm burning my suits.

Hadron · Mar 14, 2017

I have one suit, but it's a good 25 years old. But as Luna says, it's only worn for weddings and funerals, so it's not going to wear out any time soon.

We tend to regard people who turn up to interviews in a suit as showing their inexperience

.

El Presidente · Mar 14, 2017

Seriously? I'm always impressed when I interview someone in a suit because no one makes the effort any more.

Hadron · Mar 14, 2017

I'm an academic physicist. If you turn up for an interview wearing a suit you'll be the only person in the interview room wearing one.

I've senior colleagues who I've never seen wear a tie in almost 30 years (and I'm not talking about the women

), and I think most of my colleagues have never seen me wear one.

For academic scientists, the normal standard of dress is such that putting on a shirt and proper trousers already counts as dressing up for the occasion.

Neil deGrasse Tyson seems to wear a suit all the time.

Seems like you guys need to aim a little higher if you ask me. :cool:

olbriar · Mar 14, 2017

Suit, no sir. Many years ago I and my good buddies had the unpleasant task to carry one of our own to his resting place. Three of us showed up wearing the exact same cheap suit. We looked like a circus. We really laughed our butts off when we discovered that the parents of the deceased also ran to Wallyworld that week.

Unforgiven · Mar 16, 2017

I have a couple suits, but rarely wear them. As said before, weddings and funerals.

Bearsyzf · Jun 28, 2017

Should I be proud to say I've never owned a suit and still don't ?

Suits and ties are for losers!

Be a legend and get yourself a piece of tech worthy of your epic awesomeness!

And the image is all watermarked to boot for a great law suit

I like a da science!

Boundaries were meant to be pushed.

Any staff members have a gently used suit they'd like to donate? I could use a suit.

lunatic59 · Sep 29, 2017

What size?

dontpanicbobby · Sep 29, 2017

Not sure... Haven't had one in a long, long while.

Uhmm; 40 waist, 32 inseam, normal chest and arms for a 5' 10" American.

Suits have sizes?

The only measurement I match there is your height.

Suits have sizes?

Standard off the rack suit sizes are by chest circumference. For example a "40 regular" would assume your chest at it's widest was 40" around. The waist for trousers would be 5" ~ 6" less so the pants would be 34" ~ 35" with an un-hemmed cuff. It's generally for men between 5' - 8" and 6" - 0". The sleeve length of the jacket would most likely be the determining factor since those are much harder to tailor.

I'm 6' - 1' so unless you've got gorilla arms, my old suits would be a bit long on you.
