Question about Epaulettes/Uniforms

Hi all, I am reposting this in the proper forum...I accidentally put this in a different forum.

I just want to get some advice from fellow GA prof pilots. I fly a Cessna 310Q for hire about 4 times a month to major international airports on the west coast. I usually carry 3 or 4 pax. I am single pilot (duh....) and not 135 (although I do have some experience 135).

Anyways, I never wear a uniform/epaulettes, but I occasionally see guys getting out of 182s, PA28s and PA44s all spiffied up. Could I wear epaulettes/uniform (not full regalia...) ? The passengers probably would feel a little more at ease. IN addition, ramp staff and security at these places treat me like shiz sometimes. But, they treat these other guys (in little 172s and stuff) better. I guess I am asking...is it pretentious of me to wear some bars...if not, how many bars ought I wear? Like 3?

Anyways, thanks guys.
About me: CPL MEL/SEL 150hrs Multi 400TT. Looking to move up....like everyone.
