I thought that I heard in one of the crew communication emails that M&H was the same company that makes Delta’s uniforms.
I have only ever worn the ‘A Cut Above’ shirts as I was blessed with a 16.5” neck, and a 32” waist. No pilot shirt besides ACA even comes close to looking descent, as they offer really fitted shirts, and even very affordable custom shirts too.
I am sure I am going on a black list for this next statement, but Banana Republic has suit pants that are 99% the same color as the approved uniform. I don’t wear the jacket, just the epaulet sweate when required, so ymmv if trying to match unapproved pants to approved jacket.

They are very expensive at $170, but can almost always find a 40% off coupon, and then although still expensive, I found the cost worth it as we wear these nearly every day; might as well be comfortable, and feel professional. I still think BR is overpriced for the quality you get, but these were a good compromise.
I bet UA’s new Brooks Brothers uniform is going to look pretty nice.

As of last few days their stock has been running low for some reason. More expected in a week.

Has anyone had any issues with wearing a near identical uniform with a much better fit and material? Wondering if I should spend time looking or just deal with the crap until it gets fixed.

I can confirm that if you don’t go around bragging about it and bashing the approved uniform, no one will notice or care if you wear your own stuff, make an effort to look standard and use the provided epps, belt etc.

Even the Cut Above pants for me are too baggy.
