I wear the company issued shirts with NO undershirt...then pray for rain. It's like a wet t-shirt contest and I'm the winner. I get an extra skip to my step walking through the terminal with my areolas on full display. I give people the "finger gun and wink" gesture as they stare with mouths agape.

In all seriousness....take those company issued shirts and start a bonfire. It's all they are good for. I buy all my uniform pieces from a third party website. I would tell you bums which one...but I don't want you cramping my style. ;)

For the guy that asked if there was any trouble from the cpo about wearing ACA shirts, No. No trouble at all. I've even seen some manager types wearing them on the line when they do thier occassional line flying. The A Cut Abive shirts are far supperior, IMO. They have lasted me a little over a year each, and I use 2 shirts for a 4 day trip, 3 if I work more than 4 days during a trip.

When your initial uniform ships, try them on and take them to Men's Warehouse to have any adjustments done. Tailoring and pressing / cleaning are free at Men's Warehouse. Just print off the uniform adjuatment form from the company website and take it with you. Personally, I've had to have all my uniform pieces tailored. I'm surprised at how bad they botched the initial fitting process. You'll probably also want to grab a needle and some thread and reinforce your buttons. My coat buttons seemed to be ready to fall off straight out of the box. If you want any of the non required items, such as the hat, order it with your initial order, otherwise you'll pay full price later.

If you want a tie, a hat, a blazer, belt, euplets, etc, you're going to buy 6 shirts on the initial order whether you want them or not. I didn't want the hat or the gestapo coat. Could not submit order without them though.

For the most part, I don't mind the shirts. I do iron though and I do wear undershirts, but I'm pretty sure I would anyway. My only complaint is the reinforced eyelets don't match the metal pins making the reinforced part pointless. Have yet to tear any shirts because of it though.

My initial order was one pair of pants, two short sleeves, two long sleeves, a blazer, and epaulets. I didn't get all the rest of it.

I didn't have trouble checking out... and have since gone back and used the rest of my company stipend to buy an all-weather coat... thinking about ordering the sweater.

Everyone says you need to fill out the required minimum order, but I didn't.

Lucky you. I could not hit the submit button. Would much rather have the all weather coat but don't want to spend the money on another coat.

Once you get the trench coat send it right back to exchange it for the all weather coat at no charge. That’s what I did about 12 months ago.

With your backpack on your shoulder and headphones?

What does everyone use for luggage? Popping my regional cherry with class date soon and want to start researching bags. I will have a 15" laptop that I'd like to somewhat protect as well.

Luggageworks for the rolling bag. Aerocoast coolers for a lunch cooler/efb carrier

Would you recommend the Stealth for the luggage works?
