Tarpy's at LAX (Westchester) still has the best quality uniform for the money. The HKG tailors make some nice stuff too. As far as shirts go, the Van Huesen Commander is the nicest quality out there. Really excellent collar. Plan on doubling the cost of the shirt getting it professionally tailored. |

Haggar sells a pair of slacks that are just about exact. No one would know unless they were far too close and had a pair of originals in their hand. And unless that person is a comely lass, that's too close for comfort. I forget the color code, but they are very nice for half the price and comfortable. Check Amazon.
Haggar Men's eCLo Stria Expandable-Waist Plain-Front Dress Pant Super comfortable and color match. Two options on the jacket: Skip it and waste a ton of money on a leather jacket or spend about $150 and get a nice wool / cashmere blend top coat. You'll look more professional if you do. (Flame away gents!! :D:D:D) Plus, you won't look like a pilot when you dash into bars on your overnights while wearing it. Yes I have seen guys with their leather coats, with wings, in bars. Wow. Their sneakers really set off the ensemble. Our uniforms an embarrassment and I refuse to wear any of it. |

Welcome to United! Congrats and please wear your half wing.
That is your new (lowest bidder) uniform. Wear it with PRIDE! Shirts you can get online, everyones are superior. However, your aftermarket shirts will not have the "vortex generator" collars and if you're not a careful eater, you'll lose little tidbits as they fly off. Plus, it will be harder to recognize you as a UA pilot from a distance if your collar lies flat. This may be an important consideration for you. You know, esprit de corps and all that.

Yup, Jos E Banks has the Executive Full Length Merino Wool Topcoat in Black and is on sale right now for $99.00. Had mine for over two years and love it.

What sweater options are there? I've always liked the military-style ones with the shoulder patches, preferably without epaulets....
|
No sweaters allowed!
However, I still have ym old UAL approved sweater (It's blue,) and may still be seen using it when I avoid wearing the uniform jacket without hat, in the winter, in the Pacific! |
Could it be at all appropriate to partially blame the Uniform Committee for this sad state of affairs? Obviously the company will always want to try to go cheap, but what say does the UC have in the selection of the junk they issue us, and MH as the long-time vendor?

Epaulets, Leather Jacket????
Can you say Nerd Alert ???? Collars on M&H shirts suck donkey ass. They're too long to begin with and stick out all the time. Talk about dork factor. |
