What do you wear canvassing?

Do you reckon a shirt and tie makes any difference when you're canvassing or do you just wear your uniform / something casual?

i wouldnt wear a suit - it may actually put them off as you will look more like a annoying salesman ...

just got some good branded workwear with your company name on ....

I don't canvass much nowadays - maybe occasionally knock on a couple of doors around a new custy but I used to do one of three things.

1. Smart casual trousers, V - neck jumper smart shirt but no tie.
2. On really big houses or businesses - suit jacket and tie but with smart trousers of different colours so not as smart as a suit - think head of geography dept. teacher (no leather elbow patches though! ;))
3. Workwear jacket, poloshirt and working trousers.
It's a game of three halves!

I guess if you are too smart, you may be mistaken for a Jehovah's witness . Specially carrying a writing pad/book.
