but see no reason why jeans/shorts and a t-shirt should not be allowed if that is what the controller feels comfortable in
The good reason being that, as Mantovani says, the suits and any visitors are not exactly going to hold you in very high regard if you look like a navvy. Comfortable does not have to equal scruffbag; this just seems to be inverted snobbery. I wonder if there is any occasion for which these people would actually manage to dress appropriately.
