Pull up a sandbag, ....

When i was in the forces (Eons ago) we were allowed to choose between wearing an open neck dark blue shirt, or a light blue shirt with a tie.
And we always chose the dark blue, so as not to be associated with clerks & shelf stackers.
Used to wear a tie all the time, but now keep one & a jacket in my office for meetings, otherwise it's open neck for me. Too many risks in our workshop & with equipment in general.
