There are a few [non-approved] vendors who sell jackets that are virtually indistinguishable from the Perrone (Gibson & Barnes, Pop's Leather to name two). You can likely get away with one of those, but don't get creative with the leather jacket, it needs to be that certain "airliner" style.

Great, Thanks all!
I'd get the Perrone jacket, but they're out of my size (38) until next fall.
I'm 6'3" and thin, no belly, so it's hard to find stuff that doesn't look boxy.
(and Perrone was what they listed in the latest "welcome aboard" packet, so whatever that's worth)
I'm really not a fan of the shiny leather jacket, in general - would love to find a more subdued example if I can get away with it.
If I have to wear something warm I'd love to find one that wasn't too pimp looking.
I like to avoid the "I"m a pilot" look.
I saw a FO wearing what looked to be a dull and very dark brown one in a Northwest airport that looked decent.
And thanks for the shoe advice, was going to get something nice (no reason we can't make this look good), but it sounds like that's a bad idea.

As for shoes, Ariat Ropers are great boots. My only problem is they guys who wear boots typically need to wear pants with a little wider leg other wise the top of the booot flairs out the pant leg and makes it look a little weird. Ecco makes some really comfortable
Shoes that you don't have to take off to go through security and they tend to last a pretty long time even on the ramp

I was awarded a composite line for January. When do they typically fill in the reserve days? Trying to plan for next month. Thanks. In spirit of the latest trend in the thread. I only wear the hat while sitting at home on reserve. It helps me think.

They'll show up on Sked+ on the 24th when your pairings are up.
