RE: What do you wear to work?

Anybody else having a problem with jeans? They are just uncomfortable, unless they're really baggy, in which case the heavy denim make you feel like your walking in a paper bag.

No, a good pair of wool/synthetic trousers with lining in the inside down to the knees, and deep front pockets that can hold whatever you put in. Then something synthetic (thick shirt or a shiny sweater) on the upper body. You never need to iron again in your life.

Never a tie but a good 60's style suit goes well with the synthetic black shirt or polo.

Buy expensive cloth and expensive clothes. They look so much better wrinkled than poor stuff.

Rockport shoes (looks like dress shoes, feels like Ecco), loafers, with vibram soles so that you can scale rocks for shortcuts.

yep. jeans suck. i am almost exclusively a corduroy man myself, although i have got some of those flannel-lined cotton trousers with a lining like you describe as well.

i'm also in agreement with respect to the Rockports, though i usually only wear mine when it rains, typically opting for my worn-out, holey clogs (hemp of course).
