Off the top of my head, M&H is vendor for UA (which hasn't been popular, hence the move to Brooks Brothers), Alaska, FDX, and Southwest.

Yeah they suck. Got mine a few months ago and haven’t worn then a single time. The pants run very small and no stretch. Shirts feel like I am wearing something made of hay.
Anyway, A Cut Above has been amazing, just ordered my long sleeves for the winter. Will have to give their paints a test now.

FYI you can still buy the uniform pants from Twin Hill. They are around $43 each. I bought a good waist size and brought them to Men's Warehouse who tailored the inseam for free and direct billed to AA...
Also I think the blazers are $120 but don't quote me.

This ^^^ honestly looks better 90% of the time than the approved baggy pants/wrinkled shirts.

I just received my new uniforms last week and I must say I’m super unimpressed.
The material for the pants and blazer is course and it iritates my skin. Never had any issues with the twin hills. The new pants dont have the stretchy bit on the sides anymore either which stinks. After eating a 5guys burger in between flights, the stretch was nice.
The fit is not as good. The shirts are like a dress on me. You could fit a sewer pipe theough the short sleves. I could fit the shirt on over top of my leather jacket plus more stuff underneath. I guess i have a fat neck for my size because the colar is the only part that is right. And of course they didnt start stocking the fitted shirts until after i got and opened some of mine. The shirt material is very much thicker than the old shirts which is fine now but I doubt it will be fun next summer.
The blazer is cut differently and i dont like it. Its got a bulkier and less fitted cut than the twin hill.
The new belt is simply the cheapest looking belt I've ever seen and no more aa logo.
The whole thing looks cheap and did not fit well. Had it tailored but still looks on the cheap side. I really prefer the twin hill version.
No overcoat or hat yet. Still backordered.
Has anyone had any iritation with the new uniforms?

I seriously think the company went with m&h just based off of a couple peoples reviews... it’s ridiculous what poor quality of a uniform it is. Pretty sure we now officially have the worst uniform in the industry.

In my opinion, the real problem areas are the shirts (material, cut of the arms), and the pants (waist). The shirts are itchy. Not kinda itchy, ITCHY, coarse material that is very distracting to wear and abrasive to the skin, not at all breathable, and there's a serious wizard sleeve thing going on w/ the short sleeves, weird Michelin man thing with the longs.
As for the pants, I naively added 1" to what I wear in jeans/twin hill and can't even close them. It looks like +4" or +5" is the way to go. They do a really nice job hemming them, and when I ordered you were forced to select hemming options (which prevents you from exchanging or returning), which means I will be burning mine.
I like the tie a lot. The button holes are great, I've always thought tie clips looked bad.
The belt is ugly and too narrow and clashes with the muted silver of the epps and wings but whatever.
