Same here.  Altho, I've done the "company tshirt and kakhis" thing for $28K
before (before I knew better), but now its "clean and presentable" (nice
solid-color tshirt or collared "polo" shirt and jeans) for $75K.

I've NEVER worn a shirt/tie at this job - last time I wore one at all, in
fact, was when I got married (3/31/01).

Our head sysadmin wears denim shorts, t-shirts, and sandals to work.  He's
publicly stated he will never go into management because he would have to
wear "nice" clothes. 8-)
