Probably be just hanging around the house wearing jammies. This might not be the time to buy new pants.

And the hat? Give me a break. The whole "I am a professional pilot and demand respect" thing is eye rolling cringey. Sorry guys, but it just is. In today's world, at least in the US, that just doesn't work anymore. I am all for maintaining a professional, clean, neat appearance. I am also all about being comfortable in the Boeing torture chamber for 8-10 hours a day. I choose comfort over tradition any day. A nice, comfortable pair of slacks, a comfortable blended button down shirt, some loafers or other nice shoes. Once again, part 91 professional aviation leads the way. Are you saying it’s impossible to look professional and be comfortable the same time? Why don’t you just advocate for a hoodie with sidebars with this attitude. |

part 91 professional aviation? that oxymoron you just said is a joke, right?

Maybe next time actually read what I said. It's definitely possible to look professional and be comfortable. That's what I am advocating. The "pilot uniform" as we know it today is a dated joke. And yes, Part 91 professional aviation. It exists. Look it up. |
I’m just hoping we get to keep wearing them.

Ok, so do people like the Karbon jacket or not? This thread went a whole lot of sideways.

it's not very warm so some people wear a puffy under it. I wish we could just wear the puffy jacket. |
The Karbon is decent. Warm enough to do a walkaround in, versatile and lightweight.
The only downside is occasionally being mistaken for a valet or bellhop when you're out front waiting for the shuttle. |

I like it better than other options we have because its lighter, I never wear the bars or name plate so I can wear it out and about incognito style as well as commute/DH in it.
