Poor assumption on your part. I have flown A LOT in the north. I would be an idiot to try flying up north in -10 degree weather with just a blazer on. That's what overcoats are for. I find a long wool or well lined overcoat to be warmer than a leather jacket.
I like leather jackets. Wear one often, just not when it's time to look like an airline pilot.
I do respect your opinion, everyone has their own ideas on what's fashionable but my vote would be to ditch the leather jackets, I think they are a joke. We ain't dusting crops here!

I do like the current leather jacket, even though I don't own one. And I have heard from a few random passengers, they like the look. It's aviation classic. Nothing wrong with avoiding the Ralph Cramden bus driver look.

Are we northeast businessmen? No. I'm also not a bus or limo driver. I don't want to look like them. I would rather look like a pilot. The classic pilot look is khaki pants, boots, and leather jacket.

Keep wearing your leather. It doesn't bother me, still trying to figure out why properly dressed people bother you.

I see a large discrepancy between the overcoats available at department stores/tailors and what are available to us from our uniform vendor, both in quality and style.
