Leather or Blazer

[urflyingme?!]

My old Co did not have a blazer, and I couldn't afford the Leather. Now I have the option of doing both, what do ya'll suggest.

I will be in ORD and walking to the train 365...

60% will say Blazer. 40% will say leather.

I say keep the windbreaker imp:

Why not both? But if you had to choose, I'd go with the leather since it will keep you warmer during the Chicago winter. Plus you can take off the epaulets on the train and put them back on when you get to the airport. I don't like standing out especially on the train when I'm away from the terminal but that's just me.

Buck the system and go 3/4 length black Carhartt.

Blazer....
Leather with epaulets- dorky, pilot wannabe look.
Regardless, the blazer looks more professional. The only problem is,in winter you need something else, but the trench coat is cumbersome, especially in cramped cockpits...
I've been doing the wool sweater under the blazer for years, no trench coat needed, and plenty warm. Stay away from acrylic, though. Smelly and not warm...
the wool cardigan is the way to go. you can unbutton it, and you always have access to pockets...

For crying out loud, don't buy the leather! uke:

Well, don't know about the stripes, but as far as leather...

I actually "fly" for a living, so leather works out great.

When I start pushing buttons I'll put on the coat.

For ORD, and living in base, probably go with the blazer/trenchcoat.

Leather pros:
windproof, can be worn out more places, less to pack/carry on trips

Blazer/trenchcoat pros:
Arguably looks more professional, warmer

Neither! they are both hideous! but, to each there own!

 

[Sioux115]

Definately the leather, but please leave the epualets at home!

Yeah especially on the mianline pilots who wear them. Those United and American guys are all just a bunch of wannabees.

The leather is for Riddle grads who got turned down by the service academies.

And those FDX, SWA, JB guys too.

Agreed. But my .002 cents- the blazer. I hate leather.

Blazer+trenchcoat...you'll be warmer and dryer. Leather only works from the waist up.
