Sure it looks sloppy but the type of jacket the person is wearing doesn’t have any bearing on how much of a professional the pilot is when in the cockpit.

So very true. How we convey ourselves in public is part of the job too. The job doesn’t stop outside the cockpit door.
New hires wouldn’t look like chit unless they felt it was acceptable to do so. The problem is we have captains and veteran FOs that send the message to new hires that dressing like crap and or out of the approved uniform is ok so it proliferates.
