No issues for me with the Velcro pocket flap. Looks just like a regular pocket and has held up well over 18 months or so of wear, wash and pressing. Ditto for the liner on the inside of the collar. Breathes a lot better too and is much more comfy on your neck.

The following email that I received earlier today might shed some light on the aforementioned company:

Hi Guys – just in case any of you were planning on ordering shirts from Landerwood, I just had a conversation with the new owners – they are out of MD and have been making the shirts for Landerwood for some time. Bottom line, Joe got seriously ill late last year and Mac got overwhelmed with the business and they have basically sold it to the makers. They are not sure yet if they are to continue with our relationship so standby for and FCIF one way or the other…..take care.

Anyway, I hope this helps.

BM told the F/O class last week that we're going to a new vendor for pants and shirts in January. It will be a single approved vendor that we can use, but I either can't remember who he said it was or perhaps he didn't mention it. We're also getting a new parka that we'll be able to buy as we phase out the old one. He's pretty committed to reducing the number of different uniform options we have, to include pant and shirt styles apparently.

BM may DECIDE to do all of that but here's the rub ... parkas, pants, and shirts can add up quickly in cost and the current uniform allowance is minimal at best.

He would need authorization from someone far more important to INCREASE the uniform allowance for all pilots to comply AND/OR grandfather the existing options for quite awhile.

That would mean ADDED EXPENSES for the Company (Big No-No) -- the OPPOSITE of cost savings. No Bonus for BM.

Rumor has it that cost savings from FUEL SENSE PROGRAM generated the equivalent bonus of the highest paid 777 Captain for BM. That's a large chunk of change folks, but I do have to admit the new JAGUAR looks strong. Once BM jumps in it though, the overall effect is negligible. Not a very popular guy for many reasons.

So where do we spend this years allowance or is he going to allow us to carry it over into next year to pay for our new parka with epaulets?

I have used M&H at a previous carrier and thought their uniforms were excellent. The pants were great and lasted for years as did the shirts. If true, this is a pretty good vendor......or at least it was a while back ago.

YMMV.

Their pants are $85! If that's who we go with, we'll definitely need an increase in our uniform allowance--NC take note!
