You’ll need the hat for a picket line. This is your chance to have the company pay half.

Anyway, I know this doesn’t directly answer your question, but I recommend getting the all-weather coat if it’s an option instead of the trench. You’ll find it useful in all seasons and it’s good for blocking wind and repelling rain on walk arounds.

The trench looks badass and is warm enough to wear on a short space walk.

Someone posted a while back that you can simply return the trench coat for a refund. After which, you can buy the all weather coat. Wish I’d known that (or figured it out) when I was hired. Hate the damned trench coat.

Wear shorts with your trench on the overnight. Watch people cross the street to avoid you

Heads up that M&H now has accessories (two overcoat options, hat, tie, belt) up for company issue orders. Russian front trench coat haters will be pleased to note that the winter coat is now a town coat in black wool. Don't forget to see a tailor for the sleeves. (See the NYT for talk about town coats: https://www.nytimes.com/2011/11/10/f...-overcoat.html)

There is also an optional purchase sweater (pullover and button up both available) on offer. I don't know if this is just open for folks who had already ordered the alternative uniform, or if this is open for all, but worth checking out.

The trench coat is awesome! You whipper snappers are just st not used to dressing up for the cold. You will appreciate it on cold walk aroundsor while shoveling snow away from your car in the employee lot. Like someone else said, the hat is for picketing or when you can’t afford a hair cut

I ordered the replacement uniform from M&H last year and what I received was something closer to the Republic uniform. It’s not sharkskin grey but more of a blue. Is that the uniform going forward?

There's a press release somewhere on my.envoyair, but yeah, that's the new uniform. The above wing and cabin side selected Pantone color "Parisian Night" (renamed "aviation blue," I think, because work groups were nostalgic for the blue that L-US and L-AA had), so it wouldn't surprise me if our color is similar.

Whipper snappers? I'm in my 40s. Hate the damned trench coat. Heavy as an anvil and something else to carry around for that one night that is cold enough to warrant it. It would be one thing if I was ORD or LGA but I'm DFW. And I can't order any single part of a uniform as a NH unless I order the god damned trench coat. Been here a year and a half now. Taken it on two trips. Worn it twice.

Yeah, the trench coat looks cool, I'll give you that. But I'm not young enough to give a crap about looks over practicality. The trench coat SUCKS!!!!
