Ive never had an issue with the white. Maybe depends on what shirts you are comparing them to. Give them a call, their service is excellent

Cut above - best there is

Code should work when proceeding to checkout.

Cut above loves yall now. Throwing them all this business and free advertising. But I'm going with ACB when I get to the line as well.

My cut above shirt just arrived. Definately an off white compared to my M&H. Now those are WHITE. I'm going to try bleaching the new one. The cut above shirt is more comfortable and fits better though.

How did the bleaching work? Did it make it whiter?

Another code:

022336 gets you 15% off everything for first time buyers only. You'll get your own code when you order from them.

I've ordered from a cut above on 3 separate occasions and never had an issue with the shirt color. I'd call em up. Def sounds like an off batch.

101514 This is the best code I've found. Worked great for me.

I'm pretty small, so A Cut Above shirts are WAY too big for me, even the fitted versions. They fit me like a fat girl's wedding dress.

The best I've found is Custom Pilot Shirts. You provide the measurements for your ideal shirt, and they make what you want.

They are a bit pricey, but its worth it to me because I'd have to pay for all of my shirts to get tailored anyway. The material is great. Light weight, soft, and wrinkle/stain resistant.

The 2G seemed a bit off white to me. It was not noticeable unless I had it up next to the other shirts.

How small are you? I'm wondering how the fitted shirts from A Cut Above would fit me.... I'm 6' and 135 lbs.

If you don't mind me asking, what's your height/weight? I'm 5'6 and weigh like 125lbs and don't want to order a shirt that's too big!

If it helps, I'm 5' 8" and 135 pounds, I order a fitted A Cut Above shirt a couple of weeks ago, it's too big. It's a real shame.

I'm 5'9 and 135. I would recommend that you find another skinny friend with similar shirt size and split an order with Custom Pilot Shirts (minimum order is 6 shirts). You definitely won't be satisfied with A Cut Above if you are similar to my size. Van Hausen fitted was the closest I came to finding an adequate out-of-the-package shirt, and it still needed significant alterations. Good luck!

Also, if you skinny types need pants that don't require alterations, check out Calvin Klein body fit pants. I bought a pair of these in black and they match my uniform blazer almost flawlessly. If my blazer weren't 6 years old and slightly faded, it would be a perfect match. These pants fit well and look sharp.

6 feet tall and 135lbs! Looks like someone needs to eat a few cheeseburgers!

Bump.... Does anybody have a current discount code for a cut above they wouldn't mind PM'ing me?

Google it I found one for 10%

As an update to my opinions on a cut above; if you fly in tropical regions with lots of heat and humidity, go with the cotton blend. I have the tropo fitted shirts, and they breathe poorly compared to my Van Heusen shirts. Also, the cool and dry collar, while a novel idea, chafes quite a lot if you've been sweating, which you will with the tropo. I really like the fit, but next time I think I'll go with the cotton blend.

I highly recommend the van heusen tapered cut pilot shirts. The material is very comfy and is nice and cool. I'm 6,2 160 and the fit is just right. Not a parachute but not body tight.

Hello, I am really interested in the subject that's been brought to light. Honestly, I am looking for answers you guys who seem like experienced may have, on whether or not to major in Aviation. To my understanding most of you wouldn't recommend getting Aviation as a major because of the lack of diversity that if fails to offer as part of a plan B; However, also to my understanding, and correct me if I am wrong, Aviation itself offers work places other than flying a plane. A few examples of these are topics studied: Air Traffic Control, Aviation Law and security, and to an extend even Physics. I am very passionate about this work field and would love to know every little aspect of how an airline is run. I plan on staying within the airport for a long time, but I also want to be sure of my decision and as I said earlier you guys have my answer. Any encouragements or discouraging would be greatly appreciated. Any tips?

Why the h*ll are you asking this question in a thread about shirts?

Probably to incite a response like yours. :p

Has anyone had any issues with the buttons on the A cut above shirts? I have 2 shirts from them and have lost buttons on both.. Never had that issue on my Van Heusen shirts. Other than that, A cut above shirts have a very nice fit.

Nope never had any issues.

I went with a cut above for my new shirts several months ago. I love the fit but I did not up my neck size and now I'm kicking myself. The neck is a bit tight but otherwise really like the shirt.

usually if you show up with stains on your shirt nobody says anything. You could be disfigured and nobody says anything. As long as your shirt is mostly white and has a tie with stripes on your shoulder your probably ok.

Can someone PM me a discount code for acutabove? Thank you.

Which of the Cut Above fabrics are the coolest/breathe best in this summer heat?

Definitely Stratus

The best shirts I have found are Abbott, they are made in the USA and fit right. Abbott Uniforms - Our company provides custom uniforms of the highest quality and workmanship to Naval Officers and Airline Pilots throughout the world.

hey guys.. I just got a A CUT ABOVE 15.5" Tapered fit 2G..

Stupid me had the girlfriend take it to dry cleaners when it came in the mail.. So, now I cant return it. Its a little tight on my chest, so I'm gonna stick with Pilot House shirts for now..

I have only tried it on. It hasnt been worn for more than 5 mins.. Uniform bank paid for it, so if you want it, PM me. I'll send it for free.. Does better that way than sitting in my closet.

Just a data point for anyone considering Pilotshirts.com, neck buttons on their Pilot House shirts unravel and pop off after a month. In addition, had the worst customer service experience with any online store trying to exchange a couple of shirts (over two months!), and top that with the fact they made a charge to my corp credit card without my approval...and refused to refund it! A Cut Above will have my business from here on out.

FWIW, I had the same issue but switched to the tapered. Still a good fit but relaxed up top. Don't look like a slob with the standard poncho looking shirts. Give that a try if you'd like, worked for me.

I've always worn the VH Aviators. My two complaints of the shirt: a little too much material near the waist and the fact that the epaulet holders are like 8 inches long. I'd really like them to be just longer than the epaulets themselves.

Will A Cut Above shirt solve these two issues? 6'1" 195 semi muscular build.

Takes care of the epaulet issue for sure. Waist fabric will depend on which style you choose. Fitted fits nicely in the waist with essentially zero "camping tent" balloonage but it's tight in the arms and doesn't breathe well. It also pills after washing. Supposedly they have a new fabric coming soon that takes care of the pilling issue and won't wrinkle like the stratus does.

It definitely solves the epaulet problem but the waist problem is determined by your neck size. I wear a 17.5" neck and even with their fitted shirts, I still get them tailored to not end up with a lot of extra fabric. They use a 36" belly above a 17" neck I believe and my waist is around 33". You should check the sizes on their website to determine your fit.
