"Last Friday, His Worship the Mayor warned his vassals that those who report to work in jeans, tennies, T-shirts or any combination thereof would be sent home to change their clothes and be docked for the time thus wasted. This, mind you, from the same mayor who showed up the day before at the Chamber of Commerce's grand annual luncheon at the Fairmont, wearing a light tan sports jacket instead of a dark business suit of whatever make. This is to let the fashion arbiter know that a sports jacket is permissible business attire on only two weekdays: on Monday, to indicate that you just returned from your place in the country, or on Friday, to show that you are about to depart for a weekend..."
-Herb Caen, San Francisco Chronicle, February 6, 1996
