I wear the van heusen and have it tailored. While it’s not ACA, it’s decent and looks professional.

still looking for pants though...

Costs me the same to have those Van Heusen tablecloths tailored as it does to buy new ACAs. I’ll keep buying the ACA since they fit a normal sized person right off the rack.

Tailoring is free. But I agree, ACA shirts are nice.

True, but at the rate the ties disintegrate you’ll need to save your uniform allowance for them.

edit: maybe it’s the drool from my non-stop LGB redeyes.

Wow where did you hear this. It would be nice to just do a full uniform redo but only if pilots actually get a chance to weigh in. But that would cost money so I doubt it. Or maybe it’s part of our 20 year anniversary, change stuff up. I just don’t see “brand” going for it and god knows they run stuff here. Which given recent changes is kind of funny. All I know is whatever they come out with our CP will definitely approve no matter what the pilots think.

Tailoring is free? Huh, I must have missed that clause in the contract.

Yes, I know what you meant, and it is NOT free. It comes out of your measly uniform allowance, and a friend's tailoring ate up over a year's worth. Therefore some future items he will have to pay out of pocket for.

For those who unfortunately don't read HighFlight's posts through a thick blue juice filter: tailoring is NOT free at JB.

Ahhh, the Negative Nancy of JB pipes up yet again!

JB gives us money for uniforms. It's more than I need to buy uniforms (I take good care of my clothes; perhaps you do not), so the extra pays for my tailoring. Total cost to me? $0.00. So I call it free. You call it whatever you want.

How about you post YOUR experience, not your "friends"? I get mine done for $15 each. How much do YOU pay? Or is tailoring not needed in your case?

What are you DOING to your ties? I only have the originals that were issued, and they are still in great shape, probably been washed in a machine about three or four times each?
