Default New Uniform Help

Trying to do the online ordering but I only see a captain jacket available to order...I need a FO jacket. And I don't see my hat size available. Anyone else run into this problem? Guess I'll just have to call M&H.

That’s exactly what you need to do. Good news it’s not required right now. Also, if anyone needs new shirts (the AA ones) please DM I’ll ship you 6 still in plastic. Neck is 17.5 slim fit. I’ve lost about 30 lbs since dec so I’d look like a bum. Does anyone care if we wear different brands? I’m sure I could Send them back. But, rather just give them to a fellow pilot if they need/want them.

No one will know if you wear a different brand. With all of the changes, we are going to be a pretty hodgepodge group for awhile. The M&H shirts are basic pilot shirts. The cut is terrible, I’m going to keep wearing the old shirt until I decide to spring for some more A Cut Above shirts.

You select Captain or FO at checkout. Add all the items to the cart and then it'll give you the option to select your status at the end.

And for those who just say they'll wear the TwinHill, please stop. Seriously, please stop. You're hurting others. You may not have a reaction to it, but others do.

The company has bent over backwards to appease these claims. They switched suppliers SEVERAL times including using Aramark, a country wide producer of uniforms with millions of wearers.

I'm sorry but at this point people are just piling on the bandwagon, especially the FA group, but many of the CnR crowd as well. "Yeah I have sinus issues it must be the clothes".

The entire thing has gotten completely out of control. There are people with genuine issues but they will have issues with any clothing produced.

I ran into an FA that used to be a buyer for a uniform CO back twenty years ago, they said they saw the same reactions in a small % of people as well. This stuff hasn't changed and nothing from M&H is going to be different.

News flash M&H are all produced overseas as well. We traded a well made, high quality uniform (TH) for off the rack Kmart specials. The M&H stuff is so cheap my blazer button fell off my second DAY on OE. No one at US wore their pants, they were absolute crap and waaaay overpriced.

In a year or two no one will be wearing their pants, it'll all be off th rack stuff from somewhere like Kohl's, who charges $30 for an "almost perfect match" vs $75 for M&H.

And before you say this is different, I've worn M&H since 2005, same crappy, overpriced stuff.

TH was vastly superior yet the squeaky minority wins another one.

For those looking for shirts, Crew Outfitters in DFW is clearing out all their old stock $33 shirts for $9.99. I bought a bunch of tailored/fitted ones with eyelets. The M&H shirts are OK in smaller sizes (I wear size 15) but still really boxy. I kept mine in their plastic and hope to swap them out when they offer a fitted version.

I’ll stop wearing TH when the company sends me an M&H uniform that fits. Literally not one thing fits, which is to be expected when they don’t do a fitting. I’ll send it all back, and in six months get a new set that may or may not fit...then rinse and repeat.

Feel better?

Say what you will. You can call me an f'ing liar (just do it to my face, first). I don't care what you believe or that I'm being a cry baby. I had a genuine reaction to the TwinHill uniform.

I was itchy, broke out in red rashes and had upper respiratory issues. They all seemed to disappear (and rather quickly in the case of the upper respiratory stuff) when I wasn't around the uniform. Now, when I fly with guys in the TH stuff, I get stuffy in the cockpit and it clears out when I'm not around it.

Bravo to you for not reacting. I'm proud. I really am. In fact, you should get a Chairman's Award for that. I reacted and I don't need some a-hole telling me it's all in my head. I'm not a crazy flight attendant or some rambling fool on C&R. It was real and it happened. I have not had any reactions with the M&H stuff.

I'm glad you like your yoga pants.
