Man at Division 3 mirror: 1930s.

Casual Fridays on the Los Angeles Railway? Not during the 1930s, as shown by an employee gazing at a Division 3 mirror marked with uniform and personal care directives: “Clean Shave, White Colar, Shoes Shined, Pants Cleaned and Pressed.” Metro operators today also have strict uniform requirements that do not include casual Friday wear but do include some variance in dress with rigorous standards remembered. Still, they must wear regulation pants, shirts or blouses, hats, sanctioned sweaters or jackets, dark socks or stockings, ties and shined shoes. All of this adds up to the well dressed man or woman … important for business, even in 21st century casual California.
