View Full Version : Stewardess uniform collection
I am a KLM flight attendant and I collect stewardess uniforms and wings. At the moment my collection contains more than 220 different uniforms from various airlines in the world. You can visit my website, read more about my hobby and let me know what you think of it!
Kind regards,
Cliff

WOW.. What a fantastic collection. Really enjoyed your site.
Have you considered touring with your collection, or even lending them to a museum.
Where do you obtain your uniforms; at my Airline(BY), every piece of uniform is registered and must be returned after use for reasons of security.
Let us know when you recieve more....
This summer I need to make new pictures of the uniforms that I have obtained in the last two years, so there is more to come!
Some of these uniforms are from: Air Europe, Avianca, Aeris, Air Liberté, ALM, Malev, USAir, Northwest, United, American, ATA, TWA, German Wings, Olympic Aviation, Oman Air, Air Tran, Continental, Onur Air, Dutchbird, Bangkok Airways, Thai Airways and Fly FTI.
Keep visiting, I will update my website regularly this summer. <img src="eek.gif" border="0">

Very impressive site, (and I'm not easily impressed). Tell me though, why just the stewardesses uniforms? - with you being a guy. Some male ones would compliment the site even more.
Nice choice of 'model' for the uniforms, and images quick to load.
When I leave my mob, (soon, I hope), I'll send you the uniform. (On second thoughts, they want it back, so you can have a picture!).
One final thought: If you DO actually possess all of the uniforms on your site, where do you store them?

Wow! You have an amazing collection! Keep up the great work.
Would love to help you, but our uniforms are registered and have to be returned for new ones. Besides, it's not very nice anyway. If we are lost in the desert, no one will find us...same colour. Without our bright red hats and an arabian nights like scarf....we'll be nothing.....guess which airline that is!:D

It's for good reason that Cliff's collection is famous!
Hey Cliff, what memories came flooding back looking at the piccies of that first KLM uniform in your collection. It was also my first uniform, and mighty proud I was wearing it too!
The obligatory hat wasn't quite so nice though........... :(
I looked so much like a blue easter egg that people used to turn around and stare after me, and often the Pursers gave me special permission not to wear the, on my head rather :eek: headgear.
Man I hated that bl**dy hat! :D

Most stewardesses don't like to wear a hat, but I think it looks very nice when a uniform has a hat!

Cliff, as nice as it can be, I have been FORCED to wear a hat for years, and it was absolute VIOLENCE on me.
It spoils any kind of hairstyle, and of course you always have to be impeccable. It gave me the rash, so I used to have a red mark on my forehead for hours. We were forced to use it even at the Maldives with 40C or in Mexico etc. Some porridgebrains of ChiefPursers even wanted it to be worn starting from the hotel room (of course nothing of this happened on my flights after I became CSD in that airline). When you needed the silly thing it was always nowhere to be found. And in case of wind... It was not an unusual sight to see a C/A running after the silly thing on the tarmac.
The one and only hour in my life I appreciated it was in Hannover, when one night we were left stranded by the hotel transport that never showed up, and we used it for a photographic set where it starred as coin collector with CSD(moi!) and Purser (Stefano, most handsome Purser on Earth!) posing as beggars.
I believe you should feel comfortable in an uniform in which you have to work for hours in an hostile environment ;)
I know it is much much easier for male C/A, so maybe you don't realise at what point it can be more difficult for ladies, with high heels, hosiery, tight clothes, makeup, hairstyle to take care of, but please, have mercy, not the hat on top of all that!!!

Dear FlyBlue,
I do understand why you didn't like to wear a hat and I know what it is like to wear a hat. When I started my career at KLM, all male flight attendants had to wear a cap. I hated this cap for the same reasons you hated your hat! :mad: In 1992 KLM decided that the male flight attendants didn't have to wear the cap anymore and I was so happy with this decision. Now only the pilots wear a cap.

I was sure you do Cliff.
I just had to get even with the silly thing:D
If I hadn't already sent it to a famous collector, I would have stomped on it as a final act!;)

Well, I could stomp on it on your behalf;)
