American Airlines today said it has narrowed the number of vendors to six that are still in contention to supply new uniforms for flight attendants, premium service agents and gate agents.
The new uniforms will eventually replace those provided last year by Twin Hill, a unit of Men’s Wearhouse, which is a division of Tailored Brands (NYSE:TLRD).
After those Twin Hill uniforms rolled out in September of 2016, thousands of AA employees began reporting symptomatic reactions believed to be tied to those uniforms — symptoms ranging from rashes and hives to swollen faces and severe respiratory issues.
