Boring Pinstripe

Casual Friday today. Dutchoak appears at his desk on a usually non-office day in his yellow slacks and a blue hoodie, feeling perfectly at ease. The jacket, forgotten yesterday, still hangs in its usual spot. Dutchoak last wore a tie in spring 2008. Now it is about time to leave the pinstripe suits in the closet and rethink.

Dutchoak is surrounded by bright young minds who don't care a fig about their clothing. Status is derived from what you do, not from the price of your suit. A real meritocracy.

I like it.
