Thanks for the feedback.
Myself, I am an HVAC technician by trade, a computer hobbyist by choice. My day to day clothes could be described as "Early Grunge", or Salvation Army rejects. However, every once in a while, I like to "put on the dog" or I have to go to a wedding or funeral (Yes, there is a difference between the two.) so I do my best to squeeze into shoes that make my feet come to a point and I do have decent clothes that I blow the dust off of before I wear them.
As far as saving weight goes, the best place I personally could use that is on my own body. If a heavier pack makes me work a little harder, I could probably lose as much as the pack weighs in a week.
