Have searched far and wide and not yet found anywhere you can buy pilot shirts with epaulettes in Dubai. Any suggestions appreciated as I cannot wait for mail order.

Thanks for the Lobo Tailors reference. Rang them and will probably drop in the Cargo Village to get some made for the longer term, but they take a week to make, and I have used traditional Arabic planning processes and now need uniform urgently for an unexpected mission tomorrow.

Any emergency ideas for ready made pilot shirts anywhere in Dubai would be most appreciated!

You get 'Olymp' pilot shirts at City Centre Mall. The shop is on the first floor, close to the Atrium.

DXB

Go to DXB pilot shop. very limited, very expensive. I paid the equivalent of $38 USD each and they just your average off the self rag.

Took the style I like down to local tailor. But he didn't have the cloth i wanted so, I had to go and get material. End result...very nice shirt, very nice.

I had him just make one and tried for week. Went back and got a dozen. About $11 USD each when we where done. Plus had him make the mods I wanted and sew my name into the label. (babes love it)

Shops like Lobo and SAWA do lots of these, but find a good street shop you like and they are much easier to deal with. Usually two day service. Just have to be very careful you get want you wanted.

I went to a neighborhood Taylor and made some very fine shirts for 40 AED each. Go at any Pakistani or Indian Taylor.
