My vote would be for a totally modern revamp with modern fabric, comfortable, breathable, lightweight, wrinkle free. A coat that's actually functional and can be thrown in an overhead bin and not wrinkled or ruined easily. I prefer to blend in at the airport, I don't need nor want everyone in the McDonald's line to know I'm a pilot.
But that's just me, I like practical things that make sense. I don't want something that makes me look like a peacock, I'd just like to do my job as efficiently as possible and I wish Delta would toss me a bone there.
Exactly....the double breasted jacket looks like a something a clown should wear on Halloween. How many double breasted jackets do they carry at men’s warehouse?
The gigantic dome emblem was implemented by someone compensating for a small something else. We honestly changed hat vendors because that shield was too big for most hats. That should tell them something but they just limited us to only the most high profile, redongculasly huge variant, which I can only imagine is supplied by the Russian Navy.
Try finding a black belt with a brass buckle, I can only find those at stop over stores. Maybe we are leading a trend there?
