Shirts

[767/757]

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.

Second this recommendation about Abbott Uniforms. Good quality shirts.

Cheapest deal on the VH aviator I've found and GREAT customer service.

Gup

I agree Gup. Ordered on a Monday and on the doorstep on Wed. $16.95 a piece. Hard to beat.

I know what GQ would say.

Get a high-quality 100% cotton oxford-cloth shirt from someplace like Brooks Brothers. Have someone who can sew take some material from the tails and use it for the epaulet straps and attach them to the shoulders. Obviously this won't be your typical wash-and-wear shirt but it will look better than anyone else. I had a friend who did this for years and was constantly being asked "where do you get your shirts?"

How r they compared to the pilot house shirts,. Both about the same price. I am thinking some 19 buck shirt is thin and cheep


Meaning the other brands out there

I ordered one and found the shirt didn't match their claims. The material was a bit stiff and the tails were too short. I have ordered from lots of companies and found M&H to be better than others accept perhaps the Van Hussen Commander, but even then it's hard to find them in stock in my size.
