If you MUST iron wool you need to put a towel over the area you are ironing. All you are really doing is spot steaming the area which lets the wrinkles out.

Where do you get your pants from? What about your other uniform parts? Your hat? Shoes? White Shirts? Underwear?

@L-16B and I want to know.

Eh, I beg to differ. Pleats may not be "in," as in fashionable, but they are timeless and can always be worn.

You should only get pleats if you cuff your pants.

BTW, I am a long time subscriber to both Esquire and GQ and there aren't to many pictures (if any) of pleats in those magazines.

You know the answer to that question.

Before you go and out me as some rogue uniform guy why don't you take a look at this website. Your fellow pilots have been doing it for decades before I came into this industry.

I know, I know. I will probably get my next uniform items from them. They do really nice work.

Are you a 'pleat' guy like @ATN_Pilot?

I am, and I also cuff my pants like a grown up. I also wear French cuff shirts and know how to tie a tie. I know the difference between a blazer/sport coat and a "convertible suit" whatever that is. The true measure though of someone wearing a nice suit, IMO, is what kind of shoes accompany the nice digs. I've been to way to many functions where guys are dressed to the nines and they have some Payless shoe source shoes on. You might as well have come in the room with torn jeans and a mustard stained wife beater.

So do I.

Preach it. Completely agree.

Ok, your point? You also won't see me rocking Chuck Taylor's with a suit on. You see that in Esquire and GQ.

You make fun of the way I dress because I take pride in how I dress. I know I look appropriate for every function I attend.

You realize that you're supposed to read it and not just look at the pictures, right? The ads are what is fashionable. It's the clothing companies trying to sell what "hot" at the moment. Read the content and you'll learn something. Pleats and cuffs are timeless. Cuffs make trousers hang straighter because of the additional weight. And flat front trousers are really only appropriate for the very fit (hint: not you, and definitely not me).
 
We're actually to wear plain front per the company, however our DO approved pleats as we're seated for extended periods of time. I think that they look sharp, and there's room to fix your shorts, plus you don't want your pants so tightly fitted that women can tell what religion you are.
