I can't even pick them out in a professional setting! Has been the cause of a couple of slightly embarassing moments (I've got one very thin bar). Fortunately, I'm the only one who's been embarassed and it's never been serious...
loewy - I think it's all been covered and hopefully you're not considering wearing bars any more. As has been said, there are some far more subtle alternatives. Please though, don't opt for a massive set of embroidered wings on your chest! And if you do buy an Irvine jacket, don't wear it in a Cessna! I've got one, but mostly use it for driving my MG Midget... Keep it discrete, or keep it away from the airfield.
