The company approved jacket is the Pop's Leather one, but I like to show the company the same respect they show me so I am considering Perrone or any other good brand also. Anybody have a preference?
At new hire I went with the Perrone Leather at Skyw because I didn't want to buy a dinner jacket and a rain slicker. I also got the zip liner but rarely use it...occasionally in CA in the winter I'll bring it along. For cold weather we were just approved to wear scarfs and beanie caps while outside (although I think everyone was already doing that when it’s really cold out.) Since I got hired I've bought the blazer but never wear it on trips. I've been very happy with the leather jacket. I'm not sure if it is goat or cow (probably the cheaper of the two) but I did get it sized based on my arm length and 2 pack. Hope this helps!
