New Hire Uniform Etiquette
#131
So I start ioe next week and I'm having uniform problems. I've got the shirt and the pants and everything but I don't have a blazer that fits right at all. The shoulders are way too big to the point that it just look ridiculous. Sadly I don't have time to get a new one before I start flying. But I have to wear the blazer, right? Do I have any other options? I feel like I have more to worry about at this point than my uniform but I'm stressing out about nonetheless. I really want to look professional but it just looks like I stole some random man's blazer.
Also as a side note- alot of uniform companys make Blazers especially for women.

Wow that was a really quick reply, thanks! So my problem is that I can't get my blazer back from crew outfitters til Friday at the earliest, but then I have to drive several days to Chicago and I start ioe on Tuesday so there isn't really time to get it fixed before I start. Your suggestions were great, though and I'll try it as soon as I have a few days off.
See the other problem is that being a girl, I really don't get taken seriously anyway. This uniform just looks so crazy on me. It looks like I've stolen my dad's jacket or something and it definitely does NOT give me any credibility.
I'm not a big fan of those sweaters but I can at least get my hands on one before Tuesday. Is that a viable option?

INHO, if the jacket doesn't fit, send it back. In the mean time wear the best combination of what you have that fits. Most of my class was in IOE (and is some cases on line) before we had a full uniform. No one should fault you for a mistake the uniform company makes.

Def. try Mens wharehouse to get everything fitted right when you have a chance, every store has a true tailor there that knows the trade inside and out, and will def. have you looking good when there done. Even If I buy a suit from another store I take it there to be tailored, most places just have someone in the back with a sowing machine that knows pretty much only how to hem pants, its a true trade in order to be able to make a jacket look custom.
