As for uniform, a few words of wisdom:

1) Please do not wear the hat. Especially, God forbid, as an FO. At SKW it pretty much marks you as an instant tool.

2) Leather jacket is pricey but absolutely worth it for winter flying. The uniform blazer is fine for spring/fall months but absolutely inadequate for, say, ORD in wintertime. There's supposedly a long trenchcoat available but I have never seen a single pilot wearing it.

There's really not a lot of uniform 'choices' per se...
As for the jacket I should be based in the southwest but we'll see. No hat...gotcha. As for rooms now it's significantly higher than that now for ground and sim room bookings. Tough call.
