What's this?

In a similar vein, anyone ever seen a woman working at a menswear store?

And I don't just mean the menswear section of a department store. I mean a dedicated menswear store where everything is unhemmed and goes through their tailor before you take it home.

I haven't. And if I did, it wouldn't necessarily offend me, but it would be weird.

I know it is outerwear instead of underwear, but still a very gender-specific retail environment with a certain set of expectations from its customers. If I'd feel weird with a woman selling me a suit, I expect a woman would feel twice a weird with a man selling her lingerie.
