Can some of the issues (in F at least) is there are three basic types of business travelers

1) The commuter or consultant who is probably flying out on a Sunday night and is dressed in what they are wearing before they fly out. Typically jeans, shorts etc. I fall under this category. And you can guarantee I am wearing shorts in Texas on a Sunday in the summer.

2) Someone going straight to work who is in work clothes be it suit, sport coat (shudder), business casual, uniform, jeans, shorts depending on their job. Why is it that the suite guys always assume everyone in F wear sa suite to work. Most don't. Even bankers are not wearing suites anymore. Unless you are in healthcare or in the funeral business not much suit wearing anymore

3)Those traveling for pleasure (vacation). I can proudly say I wore my leather flip-flops last month on my trip to South Africa, and did not feel bad at the least. Looked very stylish.

On the sport coat, does it not remind you of Herb Tarleck, the sales guy on WKRP or your local Kia dealership guy.
