There's 1 in every crowd, right ? If he wears it un-buttoned (the "Dr. Kild
are" look), he's still not getting the protection afforded the coat in the 
first place. The addition of an over-head fan might work, not turn up to Ka
trina level of course, and have the added benefit of not disrupting the air
 flow toooooooooo much.  

Good luck with Mr. Personality,
