That will be changing. We are also finally getting rid of the navy blue trench coats that the company claimed were too expensive to replace when the Mesaba and Colgan folks switched to Black and Gold.
Does ASA use M&H? We still do, and it sucks. You have to treat the pants really gingerly for them to not show abnormal wear and tear.
Also helps to have 3-4 pairs on rotation during trips and just in general, of every uniform item, so that they wear out more slowly.
I also do the same for epaulets... it's nice to have the gold be gold.
