dress clothing. eeeeeeerg. this stuff is a
bane. however, with careful consideration,
i have determined that the main problem
with dress wear is that it is limiting in
what you can do while wearing it.
for instance, your nice slacks won't stand
up to kneeling to retrieve the spare tire
from your car, and when you reach for the
leatherman hanging from your belt, you
find that it didn't match the nice clothing,
and the pockets aren't big enough to carry
it discreetly.
as a solution to this, i propose that dress
clothing should be made out of materials
that can withstand more wear than what is
encountered entering and exiting your car.
materials such as nomex, and durable
natural fibers should be used in
conjunction, to provide a more supple
look, while also providing some protection
from inflammability.
in addition to the use of more durable
materials, dress wear should also
incorporate pockets of useful proportions.
many are the current forms of dress wear
that have faux pockets. these pockets are
nothing more than sewn shut slits meant
to resemble pockets and confound people
who usually put their pockets to good use.
if standard pocket placement interferes
with the lines of the clothing, nonstandard
pocket locations could be utilized,
allowing for utility and the price of a bit of
convenience.
