New hire here, so a few answers and thoughts. The company only gave us one set of epaulettes and one pair of wings. We had to buy the blazer and hat, shirts, pants and belt from M&H. The wings for the hat and tie are at the company store.
The transition jacket is great for southeast flying but it isn't the best jacket for lower 48 ops. So, I ordered the leather jacket today.
And, Pelican, thanks for starting this thread!

New hire here as well. I'd like to second Cricket's sentiment. Not only is the transition jacket great for SE AK ops, it is equally useful in the Arctic...sometimes function is more important than form/style.
I've heard through the grapevine that there are plans to scrap the leather jacket and that it will no longer be a part of the uniform. Can anyone confirm this?

Here's the link for the official leather jacket. I just ordered one but they said 10 weeks since they individually make each one.
