When I interviewed at Delta many years ago they told me they could convert my Navy Service Dress Blues into a Delta uniform.

I received my jacket last week. It's nice. But a few issues. No inside pockets? Just 2 outside. Not enough. And epaulets? I knew they were on the coat, just don't like them. I was in HKG and took the jacket to Winstons. Wanted to have them taken off. No dice. Overall, not a bad jacket, light weight and warm.

My local tailor said he could remove the epaulets without too much trouble to make the jacket look a bit more like street wear on layovers. Overall, an improvement over the other choices. Now if we could get machine washable pants, that would really be an improvement.
