Browsing - ran across this fascinating - and well designed! -
professionally produced by an advertising agency group of pages on
IBM's site. Includes a whole section on "IBM Dress" rather
tongue-in-cheekingly called 'The Way We Wore'...
http://www-1.ibm.com/ibm/history/
THAT part is at:

Ah, yes. IBM, where they "value diversity"
http://www-3.ibm.com/employment/us/diverse/
Go through "The Way We Wore", where they insist that the IBM clothing
has NEVER been "uniform", and count (except for the last CONTRIVED and
POSED shot in 1997) how many men you see who are NOT wearing a white
shirt, necktie, and suit. IBM has ALWAYS been well known for their
suppression of individuality, and their racial and cultural tokenism.
