Flight Department going to uniforms - QUESTION

[G4G5]

We wear the navy uniform but thank God no Italian Submarine Commander stripes. Regular custom fitted lansend shirts (can't beat them), I actually have one guy that will call me ahead of time to see if I am wearing long or short selves (ahhhhhhhhhhh).

The best part is their uniform, so they pay for the dry cleaning, tailoring and altering.

I have worked at places where you wear your own suits (and pay for your own dry cleaning). My favorite is the purple shirt with the silver tie, can someone other then me, please tell Nicky Newark that Tony Soprano don't fly in the back of our aircraft

Hahahaa, I had no idea people so closely analyzed all the small variations of the stock pilot uniform.

Not only that, but they are made in the USA. Having people in this country with jobs cant be a bad thing.

They are no longer made in the USA, I'm afraid. I used them for a long time as well; their web site even said, "Proudly tailored in the United States of America." (Take a look.)

That statement is gone, and so is the quality. They've gone way downhill, and their shirts are now cheap imports.

The business is called Pilot House but the website is pilotshirts.com

they have great quality in a variety of fabrics, shapes, and sizes. They even have a tapered style in case you're not box shaped like the Van Heusen shirts. Oh and long sleeve pilot shirts are a red flag that means you are either weird or have tattoo sleeved arms. That's just personal experience, 95% of the guys I've flown with who wear a long sleeve pilot shirt turn out to be strange ducks.

I have had two dermatologists tell me that the group with the highest rate of pre-cancerous or cancerous spots on the arms are pilots. Think about all the UV stuff at high altitudes. It ain't safe. Long sleeves only for me...don't even own a short sleeve dress/uniform shirt.

Find me one other profession on the planet where someone would dare wear a short sleeve shirt and a tie/jacket.
