Considering the disparity between all types of PFDs, from cushions to Kmart versions to high-end fashion vests back to the old orange 1960s models that have been under the boat seat for 25 years, I doubt the rank and file Coast Guard officer would ever notice. I suspect they have more pressing matters than to deal with.
