I can only assume far better than M&H.

M&H is half the price... Seems like pretty good quality for 260 bucks.

Never had a leather jacket. The M&H is clunky to say the least. Don't know if it breaks in over time but it feels like I'm wearing a hazmat suit right now.

I think there was something sent out in flight ops or FOM update that leather jacket was same as coat and hat was required. Was about a month ago or so. Still didnt see anything about Navy wings being allowed, but I was riding on his airplane so as long as I got home (which I did) he could have been wearing a Burger King crown.

Haven't worn a hat since 2008. Not a peep from MGT about it.

If it's cold.....wear a jacket.
If it's warm...don't.

You guys do realize that if we don't dress like a Delta Stepford wife, United is going to fail. Not to mention the ramifications of our appearance demoralizing the military.
