It could also be that 99% of passengers think we look like dufuses and only the 1% who think it looks good care to comment. And just that no one ever thought enough of the single-breasted to say anything either way because it’s just so ordinary. Who knows.

Can’t understand why more of us are not bothered by the bus driver look.
