Pilot Apparal?

Don't do it, young Padawan. A shirt proclaiming that you're a pilot is like a big stamp on your forehead reading "TOOL". One day you'll "get" to wear a monkey-suit, and you will not be happy about it. Until then, just be a dude who happens to fly planes. I know, I know, I'm a big jerkface, but bookmark this thread and you can come back and tell me how right I was in 5 or 10 years.
 
Way cooler to drop it at the bar ;) Won't be as cool if you're wearing a t-shirt.

BTW, I'll wear any uniform given to me with pride, from McD's to said "Monkey suit."

I was just looking for some cool aviation shirts, nothing saying “I’m a pilot and I’m better than you!”

:yeahthat:

Same reason I own no golf shirts with a Country Club's name on them.

Except when it is two for one drinks if you wear one - then all bets are off.

Cargo pants/T-shirts are the ideal flying attire. Walmart or Target.

EDIT: If you must wear one (i.e. some is both paying you and making you), the Van Heusen Aviator is the best for $16 - http://www.pilotmall.com/product/2298/187 The only reason I have them - you can wear it instead of a CAP uniform

How about the license plate frame that says "My other car is a B-747/C-172/etc, etc"

Or the license plate that says "FLY" in slanted letters.

My favorite was a BMW at Riddle with the Embry-Riddle long-university-style window stickers, and the California license plate (personalized) that said "ERAU PLT". That and 50 cents would get him a can of coke in PRC.

Tool.

I think I've mentioned this before, but one of my fellow pilots here is good friends with a corporate chief pilot whose wife suprised him with a customized license plate. He was mortified, but he's a good husband so didn't let on to her how he felt. He still cringes every time he gets in his car with "JET GUY" (or something similar) on his plate. Poor guy. I sure hope the sex is good. :D
 
Whatever happened to the black shirts with the laser effect fighters and bombers on them. They were all the rage for preteens and hilbillies back in the early '90s.

I think it's funny. :)

The United pilot who gave his wife plates with the same thing, but she didn't know.... and his friends started telling her one day how cool she was for going along with it.... She wasn't too happy when she found out what CZI was!
