2025 Awards Profile: United Airlines Above The Wing, Brooks Brothers for Catalyst Brands

Mar 2, 2026 | Awards

Brooks Brothers partnered with United Airlines to design and manufacture a new uniform program for over 54,000 employees, including flight attendants, customer service agents, and pilots. The collection reflects Brooks Brothers’ iconic tailoring while meeting the unique demands of airline operations. 

Garments include suits, dress shirts, sweaters, outerwear, accessories, handbags, and neckwear—blending luxury, comfort, and function. The program emphasizes fit, durability, and adaptability across varied climates and work conditions. 

Extensive wear testing, chemical testing, and feedback from employees shaped the final designs. A global Fit Tour allowed staff to try on the new collection, generating over 90% attendance and 71% favorable feedback. This comprehensive program delivers a polished, professional look while reinforcing United’s brand and Brooks Brothers’ commitment to craftsmanship.

Submissions for the 2026 NAUMD Awards are now open and due by March 12, 2026. Companies are encouraged to submit early to allow time for thoughtful preparation and complete documentation. For full details or to begin a submission visit the awards section of the NAUMD website.
