All antidotal without any sort of control. In fact previous lawsuits were dismissed after mounds of evidences showed it wasn't the stuff from TH. The company spent millions testing these things and all came up empty.

I particularly laughed at the guy who reported all sorts of issues then exclaimed how they all went away when he went and bought stuff from Men's Warehouse...the same one whose parent company owns Twin Hill.

The common complaint with the itchiness is related to the wool in the clothes, that was put there with the insistence of the uniform committee.

I'm not sure why they've had such an issue, previous M&H stuff was fine...but my regular blazer was like a skirt and the short had sleeves 2" too short.

And the pants are so big you can swim inside them. They look like clown pants. Already many in CnR are going "aftermarket", we will never have a cohesive uniform here.

You wanna look sharp? Buy uniform items from Europe. Seidensticker used to make very good pilot shirts.

I’m torn on the uniform issue. Think of all the crap you buy from China and have worn your whole life. Not to mention all of the disgusting processed food we eat on a daily basis. But some high-quality uniforms that have been tested and shown to not cause any issues are making people break out/ have respiratory issues? I just don’t buy it. I don’t doubt people may have had some issues but I doubt they’re actually caused by the twin hill uniforms.

While I’m uniform ranting, i really wish they would have made that leather motorcycle jacket an option. That with some slim fit pants would have looked nice.

I just ordered a pair of pants and a fitted shirt from A Cut Above... they sell specifically AA gray and it’s a near perfect match. I have both M&H and TH and have been less than impressed. I’ll give the pants a few weeks and post how they are. My TH pants are a year old and coming apart already. Don’t know where cut above is made, but I’ll check the tag when I get home.

Left unsaid is the fact that some guys are carrying multiple tens of extra poundage and wouldn’t look good even with James Bond’s tailor.

I fount hard for that jacket. It did look nice. On us "slimmer" guys at least. The guys making fun of it were just jealous, they looked like a dead cow in it.

It’s same guys who make fun of the slim fit pants lol. Of course they don’t like them, they can’t wear them.

The first set of uniforms with the charcoal grey and double breasted looked sweet. But the dad bods axed that idea. Oh well.

Aren’t the pants a navy blue color though? Why do they call them grey on the cut above website?

The double breasted looked good but was a PITA to wear day to day. The one we have now was definitely the way to go. However the M&H is just so sloppy looking.
