Impersonating a Pilot ?

Happened to stumble across this in a costume shop recently.

Owner told me that they had been told by the Police that they were not allowed to hire out current issue (ie. modern) Pilot uniforms as it was illegal for anyone to dress as a pilot (who isn't one).

Obviously this sounded crazy at first, but I did wonder if there is any basis for this under any regulation?

I suggested that maybe a Police uniform may be stretching the boundaries, but not a Pilots uniform.


On that note, if anyone has any old pilot uniforms they don't want or hostie outfits, costume shops will buy them off you as they often have people wanting them for corporate gigs etc. They charge roughly $20 for a hire so they will pay good money for used quality outfits.
