Yes. That's what press photography was like back then.

It’s an odd fact I often tell the young folks at work.

In 1980 I started work in a workshop/garage (so I’m quite young in the grand scheme). The guy who was my first mentor (never used that language in those days) wore a fresh boiler suit each day, underneath which he had a shirt and tie. And v neck sweater in the winter. And he’d add a blazer to travel if we went out to a different site.
