very high quality belt I would definitely recommend for an eccentric Spirit Captain that loves to go above and beyond.

for your money cautious first year FO, may I offered a different selection of fine belts.

A good alternative is jetseam. Same stuff as a cut above but ships way faster.

Unless something has changed, drastically, everything from JetSeam is overpriced relabeled HPI junk.

I think I did order the ACA pants once and yes they were a good color match however they had the same long zipper that goes halfway down my thigh and I’m tall. So I just went back to the same sag ass free ones we get. Why does the rise have to be so high on all of these? No fit whatsoever. Giant parachute legs. No taper at all

The last order I had (all returned) consisted of the following:

Thin burlap style pants with a horrible transgender cut and with no liner over the thigh that chafed like 80 grit
Overpriced undershirts that had to be ironed after each use
Uniform shirts so 'generous' that they made Van Heusen look like tailored slim fit

If this company has done a complete 180 then I'm all ears...

I ordered 4 undershirts of theirs 2 years ago. Returned them, not any better quality than what I was using.

I thought the belt weight strategy was my own thing, def pulls out the wrinkles. Bonus tip: if the clips on the hangers don’t pinch tight enough to hold the weighted pants, use a wash cloth between the clips and the pants.

How do I find matching color uniform pants without a 12” zipper and a crotch that hits mid thigh?

You mean you still have adequate clearance without a 12” zipper and a crotch that doesn’t go to mid thigh? ;)

Wear what the company wants you to wear. It's not that hard people. You guys make up your own checklists too? For Christs sake! Wtf

I wear it I just don’t like looking like an overweight slob so I’d like to find something in the exact color that’s a little more fitted and tailored. I’m not talking skinny pants just not mc hammer pants

I know you might not understand this, but for everyone else listening--- The company pants have only but shown up to my house inoperative. They always have been returned because they were broken. I personally have had the most luck with:
https://www.dillards.com/p/roundtree--yorke-classic-fit-travel-smart-flat-front-microfiber-stretch-dress-pants/508119819 in Navy. Also A cut above in Navy. Also seen some from the PGA superstore a pilot was wearing that looked like a perfect match. There are Dillards near/inside most of our Florida overnights. PGA Superstores too. Maybe go try on a pair so at least you know where you can find a back up pair. I don't know how well these match the blazer because ya know our blazers don't come with 3 stripes unless you came from Republic.

If you want tailored pants, get them tailored.

Haha. Exactly. Not everyone wants to wear the skinny pant look either. Buy the slacks and alter as you want.

The provided uniform pants cannot be tailored they are so crappy. They will have to make completely new pants after taking them apart.

I don’t want uniform leggings but I would prefer they are a bit more fitted and not have rise so high that the crotch doesn’t fall halfway down my thigh or if I pull them up my belt is at my ribs
