I've had both good and bad experiences with their products and nothing but great customer service.

Even the much ballyhooed rah rah American jacket manufacturer started making them offshore to a (IMO) lesser quality.

In any case I can't wait to see what a "hat that's easier to travel with" means.

Shirt suggestions

Any slimmer guys have shirt recommendations they like? Got the ones from
Crew outfitters that we order during indoc. Got the appropriate neck size and got the “tapered” version which is supposed to be slimmer cut. The shirt is cut so boxy that it looks way to big for me. Showed up to observation jumpseats and I looked like I borrowed my dad’s shirt. It’s funny, but also kind of unprofessional looking. I’m not looking for something too skinny or soy latte hipster tight, just something I’m not swimming in.

Thank you both for the recommendations. I bought one from A Cut Above and will see how it fits. Gooner, did you get a custom shirt from your’s or did you get the “Delta” shirt?

You can always go down a half or whole neck size and just don't button the top and use the tie to conceal the unbuttoned top.

Check out &Collar and their “Flight” shirts. I bought a large slim flit, I’m 6’2 and 200 lbs and it fits really nice.

Definitely get the custom. The owner will reach out to confirm your airline as our wing and name tag are different measurements than others.

I agree with that, been using their shirts/pants for years and every few years it seems to feel a little less well constructed......But I still order from them.

I do the tropo too, 2'' reduction. I'm 5'11", 185'ish, and ill describe me as an athletic'ish dad-bod (true story), and it fits pretty well with no extra material everywhere......
