    Finally figured out why I don’t feel like I fit in, in the role.

    I’m the only guy here who does not wear RM Williams boots.

    I swear it’s like a uniform.

    Boots must really help when trying to herd emails or if an errant teams message hopped a fence.

              mine is grey rather than black but yes essentially.

                I can’t judge too hard. I’ve got a puffer vest but it’s like 20 years old and not North Face (or Kathmandu or Macpac or whatever)

      Surely they go the RMs because they’re one of the few brands that still use Goodyear welts on the soles so you can replace them. Not any fake poser reasons at all, surely…

        Don’t forget the red/white calfskin vest and the big belt buckle. Cos the bigger the belt buckle, the smaller the property …
