About half of my 36 year career was spent in a detective bureau of some sort. Most of that time I was in an assignment where coat and tie were required. Other that actually going out and buying the clothing, I never minded one bit. Of course there's always the one suit that, when worn, brings additional work. I had one beautiful custom made affair that every time I wore it, we got the call for a fire death. I was finally ordered to never wear it to the office again. G
