Your analogy is pretty weak here, I'm afraid. Also, comparing it to your fly being open is just plain ridiculous, don't you think?
Lee Weyer, God rest his soul, wore a cool, white chest protector with his plate coat, and it looked damn sharp, IMO. Joe West cuts a nice look in his as well. I think it looks totally b*tchin that way, myself.

One other thing Steve,
I am firmly against doing ANYTHING, just because "that's the way it's always been done".
That is not a reason, it's an EXCUSE.
When I worked in the Corporate Quality World, that was one of the biggest hurdles companies would face, that prevented them from improving. Once they would get past that, the flood gates of outstanding ideas would open.
Not that I feel strongly about that or anything.
