Yes, it’s awesome IMO. Great quality, warm and you don’t look like Tom Cruise on your overnight. I few SWA crews I’ve talked to say when it’s really cold outside it’s better than a leather jacket. The sizes are big though so go at least 1 size smaller than you think you need.

Agree on the size, I’m 6’2 and a medium fits well. Also, I’m probably returning the liner. I don’t think it was worth the money as the jacket is warm enough without it.

I would probably just wait till after the merger.

Lol fellow pilots amaze me. Lets wear dress pants, tie, and uh let’s see...a North Face jacket (look-a-like)

I would love to see a doctor ditch the white coat for a hoodie. I mean it would be more comfortable in that cold hospital.

“Why buy that jacket? I’ll continue to wear my NorthFace. If looks kind of the same”

Sincerely,

Because dress pants, tie and a silly bomber jacket look so much better. Love the new North Face look alike.

I purchased the company liner to wear with my north face.

From CP, and I can't find the original email:

Jackets: Jackets are optional during warm weather. At the moment, the only approved optional uniform jacket is the Perrone Leather Jacket.

Base Chief Pilots are not the “uniform police;” however, they have been instructed to make routine inquiries for wildly outrageous uniform decisions.

We are currently in the process of sourcing a new uniform. We still have a good deal of time ahead of us before this occurs. You should continue to order from the current HPI uniform selection.

Many have asked about the Karbon jacket option. Although this is not an official uniform piece, you may elect to wear it, provided the approved epaulets and wings are worn with it. The Velcro name tag should not be worn. We are working on making this an official uniform selection; but do not expect this to happen in the immediate future. I’d like to thank the uniform committee Ryan Pachofsky and Jessica Meyer for their passion for appearance and professionalism. Thanks for serving our pilot group.

No, I’m talking about the blazer.

Yes the blazer looks best but try not to take yourself to seriously, especially when it’s 6 degrees and windy in DTW.
