I'm 5'10" 155lbs and 32" waist. I order my shirts from a cut above and get the fitted shirts so they aren't baggy. I ordered a size small Karbon after I got the email. Think this size will be ok?

I personally care about my appearance and hate wearing a uniform that looks baggy. And I'm a smaller build guy. I usually wear the blazer but I hate the fit and don't want to have it tailored since they say our uniform is changing. I think this is a great option and finally something I can wear on an overnight without being embarrassed.

And just an fyi... The FO velcro epaulettes on the HPI site are sold out. Any other options for these?

Thanks, PM inbound.

Yeah, should be good on the size. You can ask your domicile admin for epaulettes, no guarantees but sometimes they have them.

Thanks! I'll give it a shot but I'd be surprised if they have some in ACY.

Crew outfitters in DFW has Velcro Spirit Epaulets. If they only have normal in stock they will sew in Velcro for you. Great people there!

Don't spend your own money.

And you can’t wear the jacket without them. So order from HPI just like other uniform pieces and you should have them at home pretty quick. Until then wear the blazer.

So to sum up the last 200 posts...

https://karbon2.myshopify.com/collec...12297263218769 or here with no liner https://karbon2.myshopify.com/collec...aviator-jacket This is the jacket and this is the only place/best price to get it, and it’s the only approved jacket. It has a liner that’s removable and not really needed unless it’s super cold. And it’s only approved if you have epaulets that Velcro onto it? And those Velcro epaulets can be provided by the base admin? And they run small?
