Be warned. The leather jacket is not that great. Also note that the sizes
run very small, so get the XL if you get one, even if you weigh 98 lbs.
Trust me on this.

Well, you're a CCIE right?
I don't think you would offend an "old" CCIE since you have earned the
ticket.
I hate seeing job adverts with "must bee CCIE for at least two years" type
caveats!
I will be interested to watch this thread

Subject: OT: Advice sought on wearing CCIE on sleeve
I have been looking at items in the CCIE store, and I like the CCIE bomber
jacket. However, as a CCIE with less than the usual amount of paid
experience (I could fairly be called a "lab rat" CCIE), I am very sensitive
to offending folks with more experience who might resent a CCIE like me
"wearing it on his sleeve." I think they actually put your number on the
sleeve, so it is the classic case of wearing something on your sleeve.
On the other hand, wearing it while I am still in the job-hunting mode could
spark up conversations with people who might know of unadvertised positions.
You know how it is hard to go to Borders' computer book section without
meeting interesting IT folks.
I will be interviewing soon for a job with a Cisco Gold Partner. Do CCIEs
in resellers actually wear CCIE gear, or is is considered tacky and
pretentious? I don't want to buy something that it turns out is frowned on
or laughed at by folks directly involved with Cisco. If the CCIE store
goods are not of good quality, that would make the decision easier.
Anyone have any thoughts on this?
I know that this is the sort of question I would not need to ask if I had
lots of industry experience, but I am not in a position to go back and
relive my life differently right now.
Best regards,
Tom La
