Why wear the monkey suit?

I want to teach people how to iron. I mean, Mrs. Blue's boy figured it out all by his little self at American's Beagle, there's no reason that everyone else can't figure it out either.

Amen...It takes 10 mins to properly iron your uniform in the hotel room...and it gets the stench of the day out of your clothes if you use enough steam. Do this...everyday, your crews will thank you and girls notice when you're "on point" as they like to term it.

I sat next to a unkempt guy at the DTW Taco Bell (rest in peace, sweet Taco Bell, you shall be missed) that couldn't tuck in the tail of his shirt because his belly was so big, wrinkled shirt, that was bitching how Delta only hires women.

Umm, yehhhhhhhhh….

Back in the day, before your time. I was the original JC iron champion!

If you have the right fabric you can iron it before you leave and it should look perfect when you pull it out of your bag 3 days later.

While flight instructing at non-uniformed institutions of "higher" learning, it was blue T and khaki cargos EVERY DAY.

I like the sound of that, I always did part 61 and shorts all the way as a student. Even the CFI students would dress up for the checkride. I'd like the epaulettes. Not sure if ground school teaching qualifies for this though...
 
Epaulets at a flight school?

I'm very proud of the opportunity to wear a uniform. And I make sure it looks neat and respectable when I wear it. I think there are many reasons, already stated, it is necessary at the commercial passenger carrying level.

I don't see a place for stripes and black slacks in the flight school, although you shouldn't dress shabbily there either.

I shouldn't? Why not?

Professionalism is important. That includes conveying the image that you care about what you are doing. Impressions will be based off your looks, which happens long before anyone talks to you or sees your skill set. If you're working for a flight school or FBO, you represent that company and hopefully in a professional manner.

I'm sure you're more than intelligent enough to already know that.
