I'm 40 in the chest and 35 in the waist, and I look like a friggin bratwurst in these shirts.
What do you guys think is the best fitting highest quality shirt I can buy that will still meet the Delta standard?
Thanks,
Carl
Carl,
Abbott's tailored those shirts specifically for the Delta Newhires who were going on to the 7ER. The amount of eating you do on those international flights usually fills in the tapered shirts rather quickly.
I hear Big and Tall Men's Shop will be offering a uniform for us in the near future, you know elastic pants and non-stainable, one-size-fits-all shirts with the epaulets/hardware stitched right into the shirts.
Real classy, stuff.
Sincerely,
DH
p.s. Don't forget your hat.
