Période

This uniform designed to be worn [winter] 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 winter uniform for women consisted of a "loose fitting box jacket with fly front and a Peter Pan collar, and an A-line skirt with two inverted kick pleats in front. The suit [was] worn with a matching, high crowned felt hat, a pale pink blouse and plain navy pumps with closed toe and heel." The colour of the suit was called Ruby Glow. For outerwear, the uniform included a double-breasted blue coat with a bell flared skirt, navy leather gloves, navy or black calf length boots, and a navy, ruby, and white ascot style scarf. 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. It was designed by Monsieur Dave of D'Allaird's Manufacturing Co., Ltd., Montreal, PQ. Jacket and [.4] pin belonged to Miss C.V Fisher. Skirt [.2] and [.3] shirt may have also belonged to her, but there are no name markings on these two items. [Ref. 1]

Fonction
