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.
Obviously we live in a different world than it was 20 to 70 years ago. I think the majority of passengers don’t care or bother to pay attention to what the crews look like anymore. Now it’s all about just getting from point A to B and the Romance of flying of years past is long gone . 95 percent of passengers probably wouldn’t even notice or care if we were wearing a polo shirt and Khakis.
