What if I prefer the Van Heusen style 8” epaulet flap? Haha.

I got a fitted shirt from Jetseam and it seems to be a thinner mainly cotton design vs. the ACA fitted Tropo. There is a little stretch in them but you can see through it vs. ACA. There is no spot to clip a badge to which is other complaint.

Exactly. I've wondered about this button issue. Is there any way to fix this ourselves by moving the button down or something? Ridiculous that we need to do this with what is supposed to be a high quality pilot shirt, but just wondering if there's a fix in the meantime...

Decided to keep my ACA even with the grey issues, one shirt has been worn once and buttons already cracking after one trip to the cleaners.

Hate starting new topics, so resurrecting the most recent A Cut Above thread I could find.

Bought a few new fitted tropo shirts from them last week. Have a few I have worn for the last 3 or 4 years and like the material and it doesn't wrinkle all day. I know people have been upset with the quality of their shirts the last few years as they changed who made them, but these new shirts I got just seem off. The new ones are an off white color, nothing like they old ones which were crisp. Anyone had issues?

For reference, the top shirt is a pre-covid fitted tropo. The bottom us a brand new fitted tropo.
