Best Pilot Shirts

[b350capt]

Hey all,

Starting a job in a few weeks that will require wearing a full uniform. Company provides pants, jacket, tie, etc, but leaves the shirts up to the pilots to buy. What's the best kind out there that you have used? Please be honest and give a few reasons why you like them. I know of the Van Husen also looking at Landerwood Shirts. Open to any kind but want a good quality comfortable shirt that also looks good and crisp. Thanks! Feel free to PM me.

I'm a big fan of the Pilot House shirts.

The "Beefy Oxford" is probably my favorite weave..

Thats the tapered, with wing eyelets. Can't go wrong. Be sure to order a size bigger than you wear as they run small.

I just buy from our uniform supplier now, but I used to buy the Pilot House shirts, and they were the best quality I've seen. Still not 100% cotton like I'd like, but a higher percentage than usual, and definitely more durable. They'll last a few years if you treat them right.

I had Van Huesons when I started and recently switched to Pilot House.

The Pilot House shirts are much much better. Its a thicker material, and they're tapered so they actually fit, unless you happen to be a fatass. They stay tucked in better, and just look a lot sharper.
