Wearing a uniform on your PPL training?
There is a certain aviation safety presentation on the web by an American Airforce General Spruance.

As a simple PPL, my flying "uniform" is now boots, Levi's and a long sleeved shirt and baseball cap on even the hottest days. I'm also about to buy a pair of Nomex flying gloves.
Why? Look at the presentation, all of it if you can.

Good to hear Sunfish.
One of your fellow Club members was severely burnt after a forced landing in the training area some years ago. He would've been a lot better off if he hadn't been wearing one of those nylon "flying jackets".
Don't forget to wear cotton underdaks too.
