Période

This uniform designed to be worn 1969- 1974.

Canada

Example of a uniform worn by an employee of Air Canada, Canada’s national airline since the mid-twentieth century. Air Canada was originally called Trans Canada Airlines (TCA) and was formed by the Canadian National Railways. The company launched its first flight on September 1, 1937, between Vancouver and Seattle. On January 1, 1965, its name was changed to Air Canada. This particular uniform was one of a few options of uniforms issued for passenger agents and ground hostesses in 1969. The complete summer uniform consisted of a two piece emsembles made up of an A-line mini dress and a double- breasted collarless jacket, a matching pill box hat, bone coloured wrist-length gloves, and similarly coloured pumps. The dress and coat were available in two colours, icy mint and jubilee jade. This dress is icy mint. For rainy weather, the uniform has a bright yellow, polyurethane-coated nylon raincoat, white boots, and a chiffon scarf. A name badge was attached to the dress on its tie. Note, the tie has been removed from this dress and the inside button of the double-breasted coat has been moved to the wrong place. This uniform compliments the 1968-1973 Air Canada flight attendant uniform. Though not the same colour, or even colour scheme, it is made from the same fabric and the cut is similar.

Fonction

To identify the wearer as an Air Canada ground hostess or passenger agent.

Technique

Uniform made of crimplene, a type of polyester that could be washed and that was wrinkle resistant.
