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.

Like you said. Great idea. It will never happen at Envoy.

Not even a pilot just a lurker on here, but would a solid black fleece work? If so you can find them dirt cheap at Coleman’s Military Surplus in solid black made from Polartec like we use in the military minus the name tape parts. I wear one for my current job and it’s nice and cozy.

That said, I despise our new overcoat. I like the gestapo jacket. I also liked the zip up jacket twin hill had, the zipper on mine doesn't work anymore.

This thread is more about "Will I get in trouble if I go out of uniform?" Our manual says we're only allowed to wear twin hill uniform pieces, however the general is, "look professional and you'll likely be left alone." Just a question of do you want to take the risk?

The AA FOM specifically says the sweater can be worn only under the blazer. Only company approved overcoats are approved.
That was something you could do with the optional purchase Twin Hill zip sweater. It was designed to be worn that way (per the Twin Hill collection look book) and was allowed as such at mainline. Down here it existed in a gray area. Since we still don't have a clear uniform standard, you'll see it on those who bought it when it was available.
Interesting! The company language on uniforms is ... lacking. Especially with the forced switch to a new supplier that provides so little options.
Did mainline/APA have any real say in this uniform? What is their policy in sweaters and non MH overcoats/trench,pea coats?
As long as we look professional does anyone really care?
