Good question......how about the fact that by the time we are required to start wearing the Delta uniform it will likely be past the end of Feb 09 which means the double breasted jacket won't need to be worn until Nov 09. Why buy it now to put in the closet until Nov 09?When you get the fitting from Abbotts are they requiring you to buy everything at once? What I mean is can you buy the jacket, 2 pants, epaulets, tie and NOT the hat. I want to buy one from Premier Hats and not the Superior brand. Thanks.
