The Twin Hill sweater has kind of funky collar. It is designed to be a collar, but doesn’t lay down very well. I might have worn it one sequence under the blazer, but whether the collar is down or not, it just doesn’t work well. I never had any problems with the zipper on mine.

Now the jumper/pullover vs cardigan debate is eternal, and a matter of personal choice, but there is a reason why sweaters make an appearance in business suiting during the winter. Heck, ask a vet what he thought of his GI sweater or field jacket liner under a BDU top during the winter and odds are he’ll say that it was the best thing going.

Don’t be the guy who wears a uniform item as it was intended, eh? Brilliant. See: https://mandhuniforms.com/store/asse...UniLSFBK.4.jpg

The uniform debate will be eternal and that’s not changing. Everyone has their opinions some of them are rooted in policy, preference, others in common sense or practicality and yet some still are rooted in the desire to be cool or different. Some even go the extra mile to make sure they can NEVER be identified as a pilot.

It was the same at express. Wear what you want to wear, look professional, don’t worry about what anyone else thinks. guess what? In the winter.... I sometime BRING/WEAR the hat!! OMG THE HUMANITY. WHAT A TOOOOOLLLLLLL BAGGGGGG

I'm personally a fan of the plain black North Face jacket. Looks like it could be part of the uniform, still warm

In an ideal world we would have a soft shell as a uniform option (see Alaska with their Transition Jacket or Southwest with their Karbon Aviator jacket). It would be lightweight/packable, water/wind resistant, and usable with civvies. However, that makes way too much sense, and that’s exactly why you’ll never see it here.

If anyone still has the twin hill sweater in Large that you aren’t using send me a message. I’ll buy it off you.

Dude I love this idea. I doubt the PAX care if I have a blazer on, but it makes crew life MUCH easier.

Have to agree. The blazer and overcoat aren’t real practical when you move around the country and may not even be able to plan where you’re going. A wind breaker would be great. I’ve thought about trying to find a black Army wind breaker with epaulets. Don’t know if that is still part of the Army uniform and if they’re available or not.

It looks similar to the Twin Hill sweater we used to have. Just hope the zipper lasts longer, as this is not a cheap garment. I might buy one and report back.
Any thoughts on if the one from Crew Outfitters similar to this would be okay to wear?

You will look like a SkyWest pilot wearing the one from Crew Outfitters.

Does anyone care? Not really.
