Yep, the leather jacket is the reason you look bad walking through the terminal.
If everyone cared half as much about keeping their shirts and pants clean and pressed as you guys do about leather jackets vs. a blazer, it would be a good thing.
I dont know what your argument is. I've always argued that maintaining a professional appearance is important.
