Always. Never. Don't be a nerd and button both buttons. Top only. It's bad enough wearing short sleeves with a (clip on) tie is accepted in this profession.

I dunno I like mine open. A nice cool breeze

Really though, during spring so many airports have the darn heat on even when you start hitting 70+ days. Warm teminal, crowded, and im dragging my roller bag accross carpet. Call me unprofessional if you want, but my cowl flaps are staying open

I button both, but I can fit into my blazer (at least for now). If it's sweaty balls hot in the airport like it usually is in Detroit I'm just taking the blazer off and hanging it over the bag handle. I'd rather that than look like a slob.

Bottoning both is not how you're supposed to wear a blazer. Nothing to do with being over weight or not.

I would button it but the button came off after about 3 trips. If this is what I'm given to wear then I shall.

Dont get me wrong, it may look better having it all buttoned up, but are we crossing a line of professionalism here?
