"...regards a tie as the infallible sign of

If the media perceives archivists as frumpy, cardigan wearing folks it is probably because the image has been confirmed over time. And yes there are exceptions to the rule.
It is a fact of life that if you dress like a professional folks will perceive you as a professional, act like a professional ...
from one who once wore his hair long, had a hairy upper lip and wore sandals all day long, but who now wears a tie.
