My husband works for UP. He just finished training after a long furlough and just got marked up. It looks like he'll mostly be working the commuter extra board. His Metra uniforms fit terribly! His shirts are too small around the neck. One of his pants is cut for a woman, another pair is way too big. I searched the department stores for pants that looked like they match the color of the blazer and I can't find anything that is the same color blue. He says it doesn't matter if it isn't an exact match- but I think it does. I think he needs to look like he has authority, and having pants that don't look like uniform pants, in my opinion, is not a good thing, and having pants that are half falling down also is not a good thing. He got a phone number of someone to call, but I keep getting the run around. He's working so many hours, he doesn't have time to go down to the tailor shop in person, and even if he did have time, he doesn't remember where it was-- because he was issued these uniforms two years ago before the furlough. Where can I go to get him some uniforms-- quickly? He has one uniform that sorta fits. As soon as he comes home, I have to wash and iron it to get it ready to go, and I want him to have at least one extra uniform to fall back on. Please help, someone!
