AA (and Eagle) Uniforms

UNGH. Not a fan of the uniform leather jacket.

At that point, let's just "Dad Out" and issue northface windbreakers.

Agreed. The good news is "Members Only" was able to move those last 10,000 jackets they had stored at the outlet mall.

If you are going to go leather, man up and go full airmail. Comes with a free pack of smokes (no filter):

Just a random thought after interwebbing vintage uniform pics.

People probably didn't smell all that great in those pre-air-conditioned, pre-deodorant, and relatively overdressed times, especially after bouncing around in a DC-3 in the summer. Those old 1940s terminals were probably especially fragrant.

That will, thankfully, remain a mystery, or at least until the introduction of Google Smell(tm).

I have often thought of the same thing. When looking at old photos, or watching a historical movie the one thing we never think about is smell.

It's like when I started watching Mad Men and realizing how much people smoked back then. It was everywhere: buildings, homes, offices, etc...it occurred to me for the first time how aweful the world must have smelled back in those days.

People's homes and offices probably smelled like an ashtray around the clock.

You know why brides traditionally carry flowers in their wedding? According to past tradition going back to the 1600's, people took baths ANNUALLY in May, and then traditionally got married in June. The flowers were used in weddings by the bride to mask bad odor.
