I fly all over the world and your attire is a rarity, I do see it but not very often. I fly in jeans when the boss or his guests are not on board, another rarity. He expects me to represent him as his captain, reasonable I suppose, that's what he pays me for. I also sometimes have government people on board, jeans or even smart casual would not be fitting. Even in the USA most crew's in the FBO's wear a uniform, albeit a lot of them with the leather bomber jacket fashion. The guy's on AOC work would not have a choice and the rest of us conform to convention or comon sense. I have never, never ever, met a pilot that wears a uniform that his employers do not wish him to wear, let alone wear a uniform contrary to the empoyers wishes because he thinks it looks cool.
