I think the operative word is "jacket"
Pilot Jackets Tally-Ho
I'm not going to wear a blouse.
Career Wear Blouses @ Tally-HO Uniforms
Maybe the new hire was wondering why he had to buy a Woman's shirt. Fraternity prank?

Wikipedia says
A blouse is a loose-fitting upper garment that was formerly worn by workmen, peasants, artists, women and children. It is typically gathered at the waist (by a waistband or belt) so that it hangs loosely ("blouses") over the wearer's body.Today, the word most commonly refers to a woman's shirt but can also refer to a man's shirt if it is a loose-fitting style (e.g. poet shirts and Cossack shirts). Traditionally, the term has been used to refer to a shirt which blouses out or has an unmistakably feminine appearance. The term is also used for some men's military uniform jackets.
In other words=The Blazer/Suit Jacket
P.S. I will buy it and call it whatever FDX wants if they will hire me

From an actual dictionary -
Origin:
1820–30; < French, perhaps from the phrase *vêtement de laine blouse garment of short (i.e., uncarded, pure) wool; compare Provençal ( lano ) blouso pure (wool) < Old High German blōz naked, cognate with Old English bleat poor, miserable
1828, from Fr., "workman's or peasant's smock" (1788), origin unknown. Perhaps akin to Prov. (lano) blouso "short (wool)" [Gamillscheg]. Another suggestion [Klein] is that it is from M.L. pelusia , from Pelusium , a city in Upper Egypt, supposedly a clothing manufacturing center in the Middle Ages.
Archaic usage. I know some of our pilots are old but this goes way, way back. The reference is military.
— n
1. a woman's shirtlike garment made of cotton, nylon, etc
2. a loose-fitting smocklike garment, often knee length and belted, worn esp by E European peasants
3. a loose-fitting waist-length belted jacket worn by soldiers
