Vintage Pan Am Airlines Stewardess Flight Attendant Uniform Jacket with Gold-tone buttons. Third photo is stock photo of similar jacket. This jacket was worn by an attendant in the attached photo. Like the other jacket featured in an aviation exhibit at the SFO museum (Third photo). Decent condition...lining is faded and there are lots of spots, many of which should come out in dry cleaning. Here is what she told me about it:

"I flew in 1971 and 1972, based in NYC. I had a small apartment on the Lower East Village which has been replaced with a MUCH more expensive one! Doubt that I could afford it today! Pan Am only had International flights (FAA actually prohibited them from picking up and dropping off in the US.) So, most of my flights were to Europe and the Caribbean. I can confirm that they weighed us before every flight! There were so many regulations that would NEVER fly in today's world. Certainly it was a different time."

Jacket is in good / fine condition and it reflects its age - not perfect. But a wonderful piece of aviation history.

This is from 1971:Frank Smith, Evan-Picone

Dubbed “The Uniform for the Superjet Era,” and created for the new wide-body jet service, this uniform marked a new direction in Pan Am’s approach to fashion. It was created by Frank Smith (1927–2007), chief designer at career wear manufacturer Evan-Picone, to be “a functional and fashionable wardrobe that could be worn in all seasons, and of such quality that it would enhance the Pan Am image.” For the first time, the Pan Am stewardess could choose from two colors, Superjet Blue or Galaxy Gold. Fashioned after an English riding habit, it has a modified chesterfield jacket and a flared camisole skirt in polyester with the airline’s first above-the-knee hemline, and a cotton blouse with neckpiece. Topping off the dramatic new look is the bowler derby and reversible cape.

Shipped with USPS Priority Mail.
