Never have had the fake flap pockets, and would have returned if I had discovered this before washing all the new shirts. Thats not a deal breaker now. The no eyelets for the wings suck. Material top notch. I'll see if holes get bigger from wings.
[Reply from MyPilotStore: Only the Pilot style has the wing eyelets, but the Wing Reinforcement Patch is a great solution for your Commander. The Commander is the only style with the non-functional flaps. The Aviator and the Pilot both have functional flaps. You can compare them side-by-side at our Pilot Shirt Comparison page.]

Q: I need a size 22 neck in a tall short sleeve pilot shirt. I note that the regukar sizes can be found with the larger neck size, but the tall sizes stop at 18 neck. Where do I go to get a big abd tall size shirt? Thank You
A: Unfortunately, the tall sizes are not manufacturered in a size 22 by Van Heusen.
