Well, many people say Lion is a bunch of dirty players...
From Overbooked pax, to asking pax to put their kids on their laps for a "cash refund" on board due to overbooking, to bags deliberately put on the next flight due to chase their schedules, to banging airplanes and then blaming the lessors about it, to parking across 3 bays to prevent other airlines parking there (and to save for a tug) and to pushing back deliberately to block other planes from exiting the apron (single exit only).

You think this is crazy? Well, unfortunately I can't publish pictures of their Dash 8 being flown by 2 Senior First Officers or pictures of them with assault rifles in the cockpit... (Yes, the pilots mentioned here are expats)

Languages spoken in Lion: Indonesian, English, Mandarin (for management) and Spanish (for pilots). (this part is only a joke)

Dandyr,

Hvis du har spørgsmål om aviation scenen i Indonesian, eller om at leve or arbejde der, så send mig en PM.

But I think you get the basic idea from PK's comments.

The idea of selling uniforms and ensignia seems to come from developing Asian countries.

Japan Air Lines Express, based in Osaka, Japan, has a Vice President of Flight Operations who also tries to sell the crew various uniform parts (caps, wings, trousers). Who knows, he may even sell to the public!
