Trans Canada Airlines (TCA) was formed by the Canadian National Railways. They launched their first flight on September 1, 1937, between Vancouver and Seattle. Throughout the next 25 years, TCA became Canada's national airline, and on January 1, 1965, TCA changed their name to Air Canada. This uniform was turquoise blue and made from tyrelene and a wool basket weave blend. The jacket had a roll collar, and one button with a deep V-neckline. It was almost hip length with ¾ sleeves. The dress was a sleeveless skimmer with a modified A-line skirt and a deep scoop front and back neckline. It was worn on top of a short sleeve white blouse tied with an ascot. As for the accessories, the uniform was worn with short white gloves, black patent leather shoes and handbag. The uniform was described in the Air Canada's newsletter as having a white straw pillbox-style hat with upturned brim, sitting on the back of the head. A turquoise blue, square peaked, high crowned hat replaced the straw hat in 1967. A low crown, small brimmed hat was either added, or replaced, the high crown version later in 1967 or in 1968. The uniform was designed by Michel Robichaud of Montreal and manufactured by D'Allairds. The jacket and dress belonged to Miss. V. Phipps. The coat belonged to E.M. Gilmour. The straw hat belonged to Miss A. Johnson. - Function
