To all the business men and suit wearers

I keep my shoes and suits at work and bring in a clean shirt, pants and socks each day. I've not seen the penrith survival gizmo and have always used an Ortlieb A3 waterproof map holder to carry my shirt, pants and socks in my rucksack. I have a locker where I keep my shower stuff and hang my towel and cycling gear on and near the office radiator to dry. As previously mentioned, if you fold your shirts properly they'll travel well and won't look creased or cycled in. When my suits need cleaning it's just a trip to the dry cleaners near the office.

You obviously don't work in an open plan office with minimum space requirements! That is fanastic. I wish I had the space for one of those!!!!!!!
I use our coat stand for keeping my jackets/trousers/skirts on. Has raised comments of "are we opening a shop" "is this a jumble sale??" :roll:
I have my shirts in the filing cabinet........ All of my files are now distributed around the office in various other cupboards..... I need my space. I tend to bring in enough clothes for 2 weeks (done by car on a Sunday usually!!)
deo/make up etc in the drawer!
Oh yes and the bottom shelf contains 3 pairs of high heels and 2 pairs of boots.
Doing the commute keeps me sane: but at work, style is everything!0 -
My main tip is to not get shirts of too high a quality, ie not 100% cotton as they crease like mad no matter how you fold them. Little bit of polyester really helps.0

I use a Muji (A4 and about 2" deep) plastic box in messenger bag to protect my shirt/trousers while commuting. Then put wet towel in it on way home.
Works v well.0 -

I use Matalan for ALL my work suits and shirts
The quality is fine and a jacket with two trousers for £60 cannot be sniffed atChunky Cyclists need your love too! :-)

We move to new open plan offices next year and I will be in the centre of the room, so I am concerned that my current system will be frowned upon then.
Hence my recent query about Good Practice for cycling facilities.0 -
Interesting
We recently moved to larger smarter offices where people dress very smartly (our company 'merged' with a much larger one)
They have large cupboards on each floor but the facilties Nazis are clearing them out, so option of storing jacket/shoes there is out, will have to get a locker in hte basement (there are showers there too, but a) I only do a couple of miles and b) I have the physique of a publican and c) there are gurls down there (catering laydeez from Poland all very nice I must say))
Flippin flip what a flip
It's just a hill. Get over it.0 -

I'd like to be able to ditch the full cotton one I have and maybe keep the towel in the office to dry as well
I use a Carbon Fibre one, 'natch.
