To further enable further cost reductions as part of the airlines 'DNA', crew will wear nothing but an Alex Cruz style hi-viz vest

Think of the weight they will save without all those jackets!

From another reliable source...
The uniform will be designed and manufactured by a British high street retailer...

I don't want to put ideas into the bean counters heads, but it could be worse they may have a uniform issue per aircraft (one size fits all including gender) worn by the outbound crew and then worn by the inbound crew. either the same crew or another crew depending on which leg they are operating, just for a week or two so the corporate image continuity fits with the aircraft interior ambiance.

Primark for those working the Y cabins, John Lewis for the premium cabins?

I knew that this new ‘Concorde Team’ were to have new uniforms but here’s hoping that they’re for crew as well. Nothing can be worse than those large tents that we wear on our legs.

I was expecting their own clothes plus a nylon overall to be worn when selling BoB items in all classes, there will be some premium options at premium prices in F.

No British High Street retailer manufactures clothes to the best of my knowledge. Do they mean that the clothes will be designed by a British High Street retailer?

This is a “inspired by Stella McCartney, designed with M&S but made in China” type scenario.

I heard we were to have a smock top and a name badge with a series of stars, maybe as many as 5 if we are really good, above our name.
