I just told my wife about the changes and that I was going single breasted. She doesn’t know the difference so I showed her the pictures. She informed me I would still be going double breasted :eek: :p
I guess anecdotally there is a data point. |

And I'm not being difficult. I probably only wear it 2-3 months a year. For it "setting us apart" we sure don't wear it that much.. |
I saw the sample in NY the material feels cheap and flimsy. I like the durability of the wool. Who doubts they didn’t go w the cheapest esp if they are paying for it?
We have never had uniform police other than ATL that I know of…so this will be one of those delayed roll out changes. IMO |

But I think the point is that if we are going to have a uniform jacket, having something that is distinctive and associated with the brand is a real and valuable thing. To me, if they are going to water down whatever image we do have with the SB, we might as well have a functional winter coat. Like a Northface or other technical jacket. Southwest has figured this out.

I'm going with the double breasted. It looks better in the pictures they provided.

Well, it’s mandatory wear 4 months of the year(unless you were getting an awful lot of L rotations). Plus, it’s not uncommon to see in October and March due to colder temps up north. So really, there’s only about six months of the year that you don’t see horse blankets at all.

I really don’t get this dig. I’ve been based in both Atlanta and New York, and the only place I’ve ever seen uniform police was NYC, and that CP/RD got fired for it. The point is, it's silly to make a stand that our uniform makes us stand out when it's worn less than 1/4 of the year. |

There are an awful lot of Caribbean and central American destinations on many of the domestic fleets. So I usually average 2-3 months max of jacket wear.
