These pants are not vanity sized like pants tend to be these days. They didn't come hemmed because that's what a tailor is for. Which is reimbursed by the company (subject to set amounts).
Could APA have recommended a better uniform vendor out of the vendors who bid? Sure. Could we have gone with something besides a rebranded US Airways uniform as a hasty replacement? Yup. Could we have avoided all of this nonsense in the first place if AAG management had handled the new merged airline/Twin Hill uniform roll-out better? Of course. However, does nonstop griping from this pilot group accomplish anything?
We're professionals; use a tape measure, follow M&H sizing guidance, get the pieces exchanged if necessary, and go see a daggone tailor. (You should've seen the trash Class A that I got issued as a new PFC: poor material, bad fit, and bad Ft. Sill tailoring. Got it fixed by a tailor off post and drove on.) Until we switch vendors again, we work with what we've got; if we want to be treated as professionals come contract time, then we need to act the part.

We may be professionals but we certainly don’t look like it wearing the M&H garbage. Best solution is to just go buy pants that match the M&H...extremely easy to find a reputable company that can match the exact color as M&H.

Rest assured, M&H is owned by lands end, which is owned by sears whom is going bankrupt, bet we don’t have this supplier for long.
I say we switch to “A Cut Above”

^^^^ this. We certainly don’t look professional in these uniforms. I’ve had my pants tailored, fit OK, itch my legs and crotch like fire! Shirts are really baggy, jackets are cheap and I’ve already lost two buttons (only been wearing it for 8 days).

Are cut above shirts manufactured in the US?

Spend the money and get them, plus the company has amazing customer service. Haven't tried the pants yet, but have been meaning to order.

A Cut Above is the way to go. I own several of their shirts and they are top notch quality and very good fitting. I dont have any skin issues with them and the collar has extra padding around the neck line for comfort/sweat protection.
