Or “care” as in you’ll awkwardly confront them about dressing and looking the part as a professional while wearing your stained unironed oversized shirt that still can’t hide your paunch, unhemmed pants and scuffed up pleather slip ons? And if this doesn’t describe you, and you’re hell bent on single-handedly cleaning up the group’s image, I’ve just described the targets you should be going after.
Just wear the approved uniform in a neat clean fashion and stop making your own rules. Costco or north face jackets are not approved

So what is a new hire that comes on the line in December to use when their jackets are backlogged 3 months? I had to use my black north face jacket for over a month waiting on my winter jacket to arrive. I know when I joined Envoy (shivers) many years ago, a box full of winter jackets and uniforms showed up at my front porch. Hell they even had us get fitted. It the airline cares that much about how the uniform looks or if you have the right jacket, they need to be the ones providing them in a timely manner.

You’re telling me ALL three jacket options are backlogged three months?

I did three winters in just the blazer. You’re outside for five minutes a day when on duty. It’s fine.

Did the same, made it work. Outside the airport if it was freaking cold I’d throw on the packable Patagonia.

Blazers are available to ship now, they are not backordered. I know the Karbon is back ordered 2-3 months.

I get why someone doesn’t want to order a blazer while they wait for a Karbon. I get why guys wear a pullover jacket on walk arounds while waiting for their Karbon. I don’t get why people don’t order any jacket and think a fleece zip up is ok to wear in the terminal.

As Sioux said, staying warm while outside the terminal isn’t what anyone is talking about.

So like I said there are three jacket options to wear while in uniform and one is available now. There is zero reason to be “doing your own thing” uniform wise.

Yes they were, when I was hired right when training started back during Covid. I am glad you made it three winters in the blazer, that still doesn't make it right does it?

Fair enough and I admit, I am fighting as the devils advocate here. I can get behind this argument, where the approved blazer inside, toss on something warm for the walk around.

See above, I can agree with this.

Does anyone know the vendor for the approved visor?

I want to start looking like an assistant high school football coach.

I hear if you order one now it will ship sometime in 2026

Plus side when it arrives you’ll be able to get reimbursed for your order right away
