Why is everyone here so obsessed with damn north face jackets?

Cuz they get to look like a cool corporate pilot...

I’m just trying to figure out how someone even thinks that’s fashionable. Come on your wearing slacks and a tie and you put a North Face jacket on as your outer layer???

You think we look fashionable in our leather coats? The north face is warmer than the dinner coat and probably the leather coat too. Definitely more fashionable than the leather coat and easier to pack. I think it’s a great option.

I don’t care what’s fashionable. I think we should wear any approved uniform and wear it well. When we go our own way is the problem. Still haven’t seen communication for this jacket. Also southwest is required to wear epaulets with it. Are we? I actually hope so. While it may look silly it marks you as a pilot and makes it look like a uniform piece not a random jacket

Because as a commuter it’s nice not having to lug around a separate jacket that you may only need for one cold overnight. I have the leather and I hate it. It doesn’t fit right and looks ridiculous unless you’re planning on flying something with an open cockpit. The blazer is fine but you can’t exactly take the epaulets off and go grab dinner with it on an overnight and it’s basically worthless if it’s actually cold outside. With either the leather or the blazer you have to stuff another jacket into your bag. It’s not about how it looks it’s about convenience and lightening up your bag.

Wear this jacket in a -30 walkaround in MSP and tell me you don't want the liner...


Here's the scoop: We're only getting bigger. It's only a matter of time before we start expanding outside OH/FL

Lol ok.........

We had the North Face styled jackets at my last job, but no liner was offered. Some guys modified their jackets with a zip in liner, but I never found that I needed it. They’re plenty warm enough for 99% of all operations.

And just bring another jacket for civvy work. Good grief. You’re only out for 4 days max which means you’ve only got 3 uniform shirts (if that), maybe an extra pair of pants and your civvies. There’s plenty of room in the bag.

Ya unless you commute and have a six day stretch that’s not commutable on both ends which happens literally all the time

Ya, and we packed for 6-9 day jaunts at my last gig and still managed to get it in the bag. Pack better or pick a wash day on a longer overnight. It’s not hard. I’m on a six day stretch myself, packed for the entire trip so I didn’t have to repack on my brief stop at home, and I still have the uniforms, work out attire, pants, shorts, long and short sleeve shirts, one pair of long johns (soon to be retired until next winter) and a separate jacket in the bag.
