The company may use several vendors to provide uniforms so the quality and sizing can vary depending on what company they use and when. It may be luck if you get some good quality and fitting uniforms.

You might try on the company uniforms to see how they fit. If you don't like them, only get one or two of what you need initially. The nice thing about the company uniforms is you can order them through Jetnet, they're usually very inexpensive compared to other sources, and the cost can come directly from your paycheck.

Crew Outfitters has a shop at the academy and also DFW. They have better quality uniform shirts IMO. The sizing is also much better and you can try on the shirts to see how they fit. The Crew Outfitter shirts are also less expensive at the academy as compared to Crew Outfitters online. You can save $10.00 on the Oxford shirts buying them at the academy as opposed to buying them online. Of course, they have to have your size in stock.....

Good luck on the interview.
