Corporate pilot uniform survey
It seems like while I'm on the road domestically I see more and more corporate pilots these days wearing polo shirts vs. button down/tie/epaulets. To see if my observation is correct I'm starting a (decidedly unscientific) survey here to see what folks are wearing on the job. For ease of reference, post your reply in the following format:
Type/size of operation (91/135/both)
Uniform worn domestic
Uniform worn international
Comments (if desired)
For example:
Part 91, single aircraft, private company
Polo shirt/khakis
Sometimes same, sometimes button down/tie/epaulets, depends where
Thanks!

In my former job, the very first thing I did as CP was ditch the pilot shirt/epaulets/ties in favor of slacks and company-logo polo shirts. In the winter, company-logo oxford shirts.
There were times when were wore shirts and ties, and that typically involved flying specific company clients who were in for presentations.

Part 135 with 5 airplanes and 1 Helo.
Global, Phenom, King Air C90, Cirrus, Seaplane and Agusta 109
When operating for the family on the Global we go with eppalauts and tie.
When on any other airframe, we go with slacks and company polo shirt.
We each fly 3 airframes. We definitely like the polo and slacks over the space ranger get up.
When we fly support 135 flights for Flops/Flex, we wear eppalauts and tie.

Part 91 large company with 3 G-550s.
Suit and tie for all ops.
Previously worked for a Pt 91 large company that did the "Gosh I want to look like an airline captain" look, and was mistaken for a doorman or hotel employee on several occasions. We then switched to non-logo Polos for summer and long-sleeve Oxford button downs for winter. Much better.
