nevr one to wear $20 pilot shirts that feel like cardboard, i went thru about 20 diff brands ovr the last 15 yrs. launderwood.com became my brand for lots of years until i found acutaboveuniforms.com. im thin and have no gut at all, but the fitted were too tight for me. tapered fits me and the neckband is excellent.

I have been a fan of Landerwood for years-- it's been my only shirt for more than a decade now. Unfortunately, the last couple of orders from them have been disappointing. I had a long conversation with them after the second-to-last order and they told me that their cotton suppliers have been drying up lately. If I recall correctly, they're down from 22 possible suppliers to just 8 now... or something like that. I've noticed that the material is thinner and doesn't hold up as well, and while he wouldn't admit that the quality had dropped he did admit that the consistency of quality just wasn't available any more. It was an interesting conversation, and he convinced me to try their product once more.

Unfortunately, this batch is also thin and just not holding up as well. I am now looking for a new brand of shirt. I will say, however, that the company is great, and the conversation with the Landerwood gentleman was genuine. It just seems that they can't get the same quality of material as I had become accustomed to.

If these guys would fix the collar on their fitted shirts they would have the best shirts around. The collar is weird and very tall. I wish I could take A Cut Above shirts and put a JetSteam collar on them. That would make a perfect shirt for me. Their semi-tapered shirts fit about like a JetStream shirt but have the same weird collar so I don't like either.

I think they took a Bananna Republic cut and made the fitted shirts. The collar is the type that would look cool on a shirt if you were going to the club with the ladies, but looks really weird for a uniform shirt.

Avoid acutabove shirts. They have awful customer service and the shirts have the feel of a tshirt with all the "fuzz" on it. They dry clean horribly and are not at all pressable.

Bottom line....acutabove sucks

+1

Came across these guys +10 years ago on a recommendation. I'm 6'6" and about 220lbs and the freebie company shirts fit like a tent and came un-tucked every time I leaned over.

In addition to their other stuff, Pilotshirts.com sells tapered shirts with long tails. Even better, they are made out of thick cotton that is durable and isn't see through. Every two years...new shirts. LOVE THEM.

Not anymore, and the quality has declined severely. Landerwood used to be my favorite shirt by far, and I'd pay the extra few bucks for a terrific shirt. Now they're no better than the Van Heusen Commander shirts I get for free through the uniform company, so that's what I do.

It's a real shame he went to importing the shirts. The owner claims nobody in the US could make them anymore. Uh-huh.

I switched to www.Pilotshirts.com from the Van Huesen Commanders back when I wore a uniform and it was a huge difference.

http://www.garffshirts.com is/was a Flightinfo sponsor. Great prices, and they always carry the tapered Van Heusen (i.e., the shirt for normal people.)

I would suggest Abbot, if your company wears real wings, since they have the eyelets in the shirts. The shirts are of high quality, and I like the velcro pockets on the front. They have button sewn on the pocket closure, so it looks like a regular shirt, but it is much easier to retrieve your trip log/calculator/etc... They tailor the shirts to your liking. I wore their uniforms for several years at ASA, and then went to M&H when I changed companies. M&H seemed like K-Mart quality by comparison. Abbot is staffed by very nice people, and have even picked me up at the ATL terminal to come by their shop.
