I think these are both great ideas, actually, but I would lean to the "Billy Mitchell" model. Once you've divorced "field" uniforms from "dress" uniforms completely, as ALL the services have, there is no longer any reason to keep the latter looking anything like "business suits".

i liked the Vietnam era USAF uniform. You could moonlight as a Greyhound bus driver without having to change clothes.

I thought the Air Force had already gone "uniform optional"? :)

It doesn't matter anyway, the wrench turners never really get a chance to wear them.

Doesn't look right on the woman though, does it?

If the Air Force wants to pique interest, I think they should consider this prototype, at least for the females:

Anything is better than what the USAF uniform was changed into in the 1990s, courtesy of the Clinton-lover Gen McPeak.
None of the other services fiddle with their uniforms every decade or so except for the Air Force, which is I think suffering from a life-long identity crisis since being 'divorced' from the Army.
They ought to bring back the Khaki Army Air Force uniforms that were worn in WWII.
THAT would be a welcome change.

My father's USAF. He hates them.

Those Billy Mitchell uniforms are sharp.
Ironic that they'd use his name, considering what happened to General Mitchell.

The Army used that type of collar until the 20s/30s. It was phased out and has not come back. The Navy, I believe, still has a similar collared dress uniform. I had dress blues as an enlisted Marine and they were not all that comfortable all of the time. Having finished my career in the AF I am not sure that a lot of people would necessarily like it in terms of how it feels, but it does look kinda sharp.
