I have to say the two white ones I have been using for my genteel welding afternoons this year have tended to display more of the V than is perhaps polite in the company of my welding mate's hereditary mother if, as on occasion one did, accepting her offers of a post-MIG cup of tea (or glass of something, even). That, however is because of the lamentable holdfast of the 'popper' fasteners. Had the thing had buttons I would have been entirely decent with out the need for gussets, self tensioning belt winches or other paraphernalia of naval relief.

I have had, on one or two occasions, to suffer the indignity of being asked "was that your knee?" as the poppers reacted in unison to an energetic movement.

I am sure I have met one of the O'Boozes but Lunchtime doesn't sound Irish, is it a nickname? I am sure he'll be welcome enough onboard to have his own bunk.
