How strict is the enforcement of winter wear say when an FO is outside doing a walk-around?
Would it really be frowned upon wearing a generic all black coat or jacket?
What are the folks on the line doing, or do you have better suggestions for company approved outerwear?

Ya know, for the first 9 years or so I wore the overcoat with a northface type jacket underneath. When it got really cold I wore some long-john bottoms too. I never wore the jacket alone in the terminal, it was either off or under the overcoat. Once I could afford the leather, I got it and never looked back. I have never even once worn the blazer to work.
In all honesty, as long as your not walking the concourse in something different, your likely fine. Even if you are snagged, all it will be the first few times is a gentile chat, even on probation.
As far as sweaters and leather; the company did make a push to remove them a while back, FWIW I don't think it was TW's idea. The Union came back and said, its in the contact, its negotiable, the cost is flow. So, we don't have to wear a hat, I can wear my leather or a sweater, and I can go to Delta when I pass the interview.
My 5¢
