Période

never worn c. 1964

Canada

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 was the 6th uniform issued by TCA and it was introduced in October 1964 and worn until April 1968. In this uniform, the flight attendants transitioned between the airlines being known as TCA to the airline becoming Air Canada. In addition, the pins worn on this particular uniform were the first issued as Air Canada. They were first introduced in Europe and then in Canada. The charcoal green uniform's jacket has three large self covered button, it's semi-fitted with set-in sleeves, a V-neckline with tailored collar, A-line skirt with fake pockets in the side seams. The blouse has a jewel neckline and short sleeves, with a brooch-like Air Canada insignia affixed to the blouse at the neck. The matching semi-fitted (under the bust) charcoal green topcoat is made of rough weave basket wool. It has set-in sleeves, hidden slash pockets, round tailored collar and wide concealed closing. The "little-boy" hat is bowler style in a charcoal green felt with small turned-up brim. The rack-like Air Canada insignia is place on the left side of the hat. The winter charcoal green topcoat is made of a rough wool basket weave. The uniform was completed with black leather gloves, black patent shoes and handbag. The uniform was designed by Michel Robichaud of Montreal, and the insignia by Maurice Brault of Montreal. The uniform was manufactured by Tip Top Tailors and D'Allairds Ltd.
