If someone really wants to nitpick, the buttons are different (and much better looking on the Twin Hill).

I'm very happy with my M&H. I'm halfway to consolidation, and I've only had to repair the pants once and the blazer once!
(and yes, for the ones who've had 3 beers, that was sarcasm).

yeah the M&H stuff isn’t very good...

On another note, does anyone know if there is any way we could get a SOC tour?

During your captain upgrade when you go to D&R class the instructor should take you over.

The oversized blown-out thighs on the MH pants are rubbing against each other making gross shuffling noises as I Denzel swagger through the terminal and the material is slowly disintegrating...

Yeah mine are still in the closet. Not only was the sizing way off compared to every other pair of pants I have ever bought, they didn't come hemmed. Still rocking my TH's.

I sewed my twin hill buttons on the new blazer yesterday. Hope I don’t get fired

These pants are not vanity sized like pants tend to be these days. They didn't come hemmed because that's what a tailor is for. Which is reimbursed by the company (subject to set amounts).

Could APA have recommended a better uniform vendor out of the vendors who bid? Sure. Could we have gone with something besides a rebranded US Airways uniform as a hasty replacement? Yup. Could we have avoided all of this nonsense in the first place if AAG management had handled the new merged airline/Twin Hill uniform roll-out better? Of course. However, does nonstop griping from this pilot group accomplish anything?

We're professionals; use a tape measure, follow M&H sizing guidance, get the pieces exchanged if necessary, and go see a daggone tailor. (You should've seen the trash Class A that I got issued as a new PFC: poor material, bad fit, and bad Ft. Sill tailoring. Got it fixed by a tailor off post and drove on.) Until we switch vendors again, we work with what we've got; if we want to be treated as professionals come contract time, then we need to act the part.

Yeah, and if you have a Twin Hill issue (made by Premier hat instead of that M&H Midway made trash) in 7 1/8" lemme know. I could use a spare.
