Pilot Shirt Recommendations

Hi all,

Bit of a strange one perhaps, but I'm looking for recommendations on where I can buy quality short sleeved pilot shirts in the UK - ie not the ones that look like tracing paper once you get a bit sweaty and last more than 2 washes

A cheap white polo shirt from ASDA will do the job nicely. The money saved by buying such a product can be wisely invested in a beer rental scheme.

Whilst that does indeed sound like a superb idea, unfortunately I do need 'pilot' shirts.... ie, flap pockets epaulette etc

Thumbs up Shirts

I think the Airman pilot shirts ones are really good- UK based company too so you dont have to pay insane shipping

I've always used A Cut Above shirts. Can buy direct, or several places in UK/EU sell them. Slightly more choice of fabric/fit normally available directly, if you're not in the middle size wise.
