The key question is whether you can slip them on and off at Security without having to fiddle with laces. Oh, and they are unlikely to go with burgundy trousers/pants

Well I haven't dared appear in public wearing them since the 1970s. But if you're saying BA won't bar me from their 747s / 747's [delete according to preference] I might feel bolder. How the wheel of fashion turns. There's hope for the safari suit yet.
