This 100%! The blazers look almost identical and no passengers will know or care. The easiest way to tell the new double-breasted from the old is usually the old fits the pilot and the new blazer is billowy and ill fitting. But let's 'look sharp and take pride in our appearance' (which I know might illicit and eye roll from some but I actually take seriously and try to do).

It's basically visible at 10 yards to a CP/ACP or Uniform Sherrif but passengers don't notice.
Back in the jurassic era (2018) they were making new hires buy HPI uniforms. Including EDV guys who had Abbotts or Crew Outfitters change the buttons, or ex Navy
I got jacket checked once by an LCA once I was off probation. Because I took it off upon arrival at plane, and he saw the tag. I was removed from the flight.
They are out there.

Yes I bought mine from Abbott and Crew Outfitters. I don’t have experience with HPI.

Less than two weeks after Patrick Burns got a "promotion" to be the SVP of operations at minor Part 135 carrier, the uniform rollout "paused, " and flight ops suddenly (and belatedly) realized the product sucks. Coincidence? I doubt it.
The entire premise off new uniforms was to make them more "diverse" and "inclusive."
Any bets on whether the single-breasted jacket goes away? And if so, how are the going to walk back their "diversity" and "inclusive" messaging, which they milked for all it was worth?

Regardless of the answer, that LCA is like a flight doc who walks around the squadron looking for pilots who “sound stuffy”.
