The new Qantas Pilot Uniform

[straitman]

Hopefully it will just be an RAAF style 'green bag'...and you've seen them...although I do note that when I wrote that in their suggestions, I didn't get a reply.

I think that going back a little further and using the 'orange bag' would be better :!:

Dating yourself now Bill...though I recall owning one too. There's a web site where you can buy them in just about any colour, though I doubt that they're nomex.

Yep, and if you're not https://youtu.be/5-qcGXBIHhs

The streaming isn't going well......

 

[under the radar]

LOVE the white 'cap' and the new coloured suits. I am laughing so much at the trolls on twitter...facebook..youtube.. etc

jb747, the streaming was working on other platforms (Periscope) - Red Roo showed me it working

Fashionistas can correct me, but when fitted correctly, aren't single breasted jackets meant NOT to have creases about the waist and up to the button?

Okay, I have a ton of photos that I will post later - off to my next client meeting near Town Hall

Not so sure about the white hat...

 

[jb747]

The tie is ok.

Yes the jacket looks very badly fitted on some of the "models".

The white cap is a nice change, but I can see them looking grubby very quickly.

Not so sure about the white hat...

The hat is navy with a waterproof white top - linking back to the first Qantas pilot uniforms from the 1930s.

Interesting re the White hat. Reminds me of my Father's wedding photos as he was dressed in full Naval uniform for the Day.

I trust the Pilots will do the catwalk when we board?

Only the ones that modeled for us today!

From the press release:

Approximately 4 kilograms of gold bullion thread will be used on the hat and wing badge

That's a heavy hat and badge.

That's what I thought. So how much prep went into this, I wonder?

Did they have them run up in HKG between flights?

Has RM Williams boots been part of uniform for both Pilots and Cabin Crew?

Not previously, and I doubt that it is now. Some people do like them, but they are not the sort of shoe that I choose to fly in.

well done to Martin, the suits are a stylish cut and that trench coat, great line. congrats Martin

It seems the latest galleries shows boots for both.
