Issues with commuting to work in business attire
I don't wear a suit, but wear business casual at work. Dress khakis, slacks, dress shirts, dress boots, etc..
I live in South Texas where the heat is sometime extremely high and I work on a military installation which requires long sleeved shirts with reflective material during the hours of darkness.
Here is what I currently do, but am open to all thoughts on how to accommodate my riding requirements on base and still not fall over from the heat. I wear the Harley safety vest (not a requirement, but I like to wear it for me) and a long sleeve button up shirt over what I am wearing for work that day. It isn't too bad, but it is still early in the year as far as heat goes.

Did you intend to post a picture of what you wear? It seems I'm not the only person not seeing what it seems like I should be seeing. I don't see a link to a picture in your post, and I definitely am not seeing the picture.
