It's a neat idea, but it's cheaper to just buy a "regular" pilot shirt and take it to a local tailor.

I've heard good reviews on the shirts. I've had one of his leather bags since the days when he used to sell directly to the crews in Mumbai. Good quality.

I was thinking about getting Flight’s new cotton shirts. Hopefully that’s less synthetic. I’ve never tried Flight before but they look appealing to me because of their “fitted” style. Most shirts fit my torso fine, but the sleeves are 2 sizes too big width wise. Maybe it’s time I start hitting the gym again, and fill out those sleeves :D

That's what I don't like about crew outfitters shirts, the sleeves make my pencil arms look even more pencil-y. ACA tropo looks normal. I'm hoping the slim fit platinum from crew out fitters has less wide sleeves than their other shirts.

A Cut Above Tropo fitted has been my go to for years. Brooks is nice too, more ironing required though. Bought the Cirrus due to the hype and didn't like it.

I didn't buy them to avoid plastic , but I cannot say enough good things about these undershirts: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B084TRVGHY They are by far the most comfortable, form fitting shirts I've ever worn and do everything a good undershirt should do. Their customer service is also spectacular. I had an issue with a shirt and they sent a replacement next-day, no questions asked. Didn't even have to send the first one back.

Yep I used to be a cirrus then tropo wearer myself before the lady who used to work in the crew outfitters store got me to try these on. I get the 16.5 fitted personally, I’m 6’1 and 215 athleticish (slowly declining lol) and it fits well and doesn’t need tailoring. It’s a nice fitted look.

Definitely do not need to iron. I put creases in the sleeves when I first bought them and they’ve stayed in since. Machine wash and dry and hang up right away. They’re super cool and sorta stretchy and I rotate them out after about 6 months and they look brand new. I can’t tell you how nice these are to try on in person and not deal with all the BS of ACA.

Worn them too. Not bad but my main complaint with the Crew Outfitters shirts is the neck padding. For some reason those shirts really irritate my neck and I always try to wear a half size bigger for comfort. They start giving me neck rash after a long day when the 5 o' clock shadow starts showing. By day 3 of a trip my neck looks so red I look like I survived a Mob hit.

Neck liner padding is the only area where ACA is still top choice for me. Second would be Jetseam White labels and Flight third.

I got a platinum crew outfitters shirt one time and the body size was crazy. I got my normal neck size and could fit, no joke, two people in the shirt and still button it up it was so big.

I can vouch for Thompson tees though, I sweat like a ***** in church and they save my shirts. Plus I don’t get the aluminum discoloration on the shirt pits too.

Did you try the Vortex or the Voyager?
