I have ACA shirts, love the collar, hate the baggy look. I have an athletic frame and they still have the cut of a shopping mall security guard. Had them altered and still like the padded collars. The comically large buttons are gone, but the ones that replaced them seem to not hold up well to dry cleaning.

The ACA pants are great, breathe well in the hot FLL months, but warm enough in the winter. No shiny sheen and haven’t had one issue with the 5 pairs currently in rotation. The “rubber” band inside the waist line helps keep shirts tucked in.

The overwhelming majority of NK pilots I’ve come across look sharp and professional, we just have a disproportionately large number of slobs and cheapskates as a percentage. For you new hires, don’t take that as “no one cares what I wear here so I’ll wear whatever I want”.

Get yourself a couple pairs of quality stuff so you too can roll your eyes at the guy in dockers and black new balance lace ups who is making $250k a year and thinks paying more than twenty bucks for pants is ridiculous.
