| That's not for me to say, but my post count would probably indicate otherwise.

Perhaps I should start taking lessons just wearing a thong  | |

| Lord Shout, when you consider yourself a professional coach, then you can consider letting the students take lessons without wearing a jacket.
Do you have that much confidence in your control? Do you have enough confidence in what the student will do that you are sure you will not injure the student?
That being said, when I was taking lessons from Lejos Csiszar some fifty years ago, other students and I took lessons without jackets or masks.

| The other thing to consider is whether your insurance is valid if the student is not wearing a jacket. How many times have we heard George K. chastising coaches and fencers at NACs and SN for lessons without jackets?

I've since come to the conclusion that excepting for times when I'm not holding a weapon people I'm working with can just put up with the jacket.
Edit:
Although I'm holding out for some kind of spray on super lotion that will turn me into a superhero, at which point my only use for jackets will be a stylish article to wear on special occasions (like when I want to kill my arch nemesis with smell).

| I can attest to your olfactory terrorism firsthand.
