"Ive got 1,271 airline uniforms in my closet"

In any flight attendant's closet, you might expect to find 2 or 3 uniforms.

If you were to poke your head into KLM purser Cliff Muskiet's closets, look inside drawers, and into boxes, you'd find 1,271 flight attendants uniforms. They're not just from one airline, but from airlines all over the world.

He's launched a website to display his collection: http://uniformfreak.com/ and has lent a few to be displayed at an exhibit.

Do you have an avgeek collection at home? What do you collect? How big it?

When I went to the website, I wondered if he had any PSA uniforms and, sure enough, he does. Those were the days.

So which airline in your view has the best/sexiest/attractive uniform. I vote Singapore Airlines.

I think they profiled him on last months CNN Business Traveller. Along with a couple who have a home built flight simulator.

I’ve got 1,271 airline uniforms in my closet
I never use this word: "awesome". It applies here!

So if he wore one uniform a day, every day, he could go nearly 3 and a half years without having to do laundry
