Uniforms
 
Since there is no subforum for this, I will ask here in regional.

Other than crewoutfitters and stopoverstore, does anyone buy their uniform pieces elsewhere, say at JCP, Amazon, or other? I saw these, and thought the prices weren't bad, just not sure if the style/fabric look will be close enough to what the "regular" stores sell:

Van Heusen® Label No-Iron Pant - JCPenney

I usually buy pants at a department store in the malls around town. Shirts from CO in DFW.

ACutAbove. A little more expensive but by far the best quality.

BobJenkins 01-21-2016 08:38 AM

A) No self-respecting pilot uses M&H for anything except their mother-in-laws Xmas purchases

2) That is not a sub-forum for uniforms. That is a thread in a sub-sub forum.

But thanks for sharing it! ;)

Acutabove. I haven't ironed a shirt in 3 months (tropo shirt) and the fit is good, and I like the material.

falcon99 01-21-2016 09:29 AM

Another vote for acutabove. If you walk in, because say you were training in DEN or something, they might give you a little discount.

BobJenkins 01-21-2016 09:37 AM

Thanks, all. Men's pilot shirts , tapered pilot shirt - Sizes/Styles Available. More fit choice for a better pilot uniform appearance. it is, FTW.

Save your money and buy the crap the company sells. Not sure of other contracts but we pay half at my airline. My shirts are only $6. If it is ugly, that is the companies problem. Plus, they have to pay their half. Stick it to the man!

Snuffaluffagus 01-21-2016 10:16 AM

acutabove for the shirts. Went to Macys and Express for the pants

BobJenkins 01-21-2016 10:22 AM

You obviously don't know that chicks in airport bars don't dig on pilots with cheap shirts. :cool:

Oh, I will take advantage of the 50% thing, but that's only for the first purchase. After that, I plan to be the second sexiest pilot on the concourse.

They're the only ones I wear. A little more expensive, but worth it for the quality and fit. Make sure to get them hemmed.

BobJenkins 01-21-2016 10:38 AM

What? Waste my hard-earned money on hemming? Why? After a few days, they are ground to the perfect length for my shoes! :D

I heard they are nice as well. Have the rubber liners at the waist band that help keep the shirts down. Guess some of the younger kids never heard of sock garters. :eek:

A Cut Aboce is great for everything. I'm not sure how these people say it's expensive, unless their normal wardrobe consist of sweatpants.

SkyWago 01-21-2016 11:27 AM

Its personal pref. I don't care for ACA shirts. Their pants are ok, had a pair at one point. Really have to try various places til you figure it out.

Does anybody know if the A Cut Above pants match the navy blue in the Trans States/RAH/GoJet uniforms (whoever else wears the same blue Crew Outfitters uniforms)?

Their website states their navy color for pants "matches Southwest, American, Republic, Air Wisconsin, and more."
Hope this helps.
