You can wait until you get here. Unless something changed recently, new hires are required to purchase a certain amount of M&H clothing. Don’t buy extra as it all is terrible.
Haggar Cool Pro 18 pants and Jetseam or cut above shirts are typically the best bang for your buck.
I bought the LuggageWorks roller bag at newhire training. There are other options and like anything else, everyone has an opinion of what’s best.
The company issues you a headset. I used the company headset my first year. My off probation gift to myself was a DC headset.
When I started the leather coat was the way to go. Now, they have a more modern jacket that everyone seems to favor. Check them out your first week and get your order in. The jacket took nearly six months to arrive.
Welcome aboard!
