The two gold buttons on the single looked goofy in the pictures and on the sample uniforms in the crew room. I’m going double, but I’ve also never hated the current uniform. 🤷‍♀️

Single breasted for me. If I have to wear a useless piece of apparel I might as well be comfortable doing so. I’ve long since grown out of needing to look “iconic”.
You mean You don’t want to look like Gavin McLeod ( Captain Stubing From the Love Boat ) when walking around the Airport ? At least they haven’t made youns wear the white hat like the old Pan Am guys 😂😂

Single breasted, but going to insist all single breasters in the crew button all buttons just like the the tug boat coat for unit cohesion and morale.

Gotta honor those who came before.

Just getting this post seen another time. The significance of this post can’t be understated.

Nonsense!

Fashion rules are made to be broken.

Wear white after Labor Day, have a pocket square that matches your tie, wear black shoes with a brown belt, and you can never be hip enough when it comes to wacky sock colors/designs.

Mistletoe print tie right above your "it's business time" area....always a subtle Christmas classic that delights those in the know.

Honestly, in this particular trade, nobody cares.

The whole mix-n-match new pilot uniform was inevitable when we went a couple of years without a standardized FA uniform (itchy vendor) and you couldn't tell who was working in the back.

It’s less that it’s a “rule” and more that single breasted jackets are cut to not have the bottom button done up. Bottom will be pinched up tighter, but I digress.
