This uniform was designed by Ralph Lauren and didn't change significantly until the demise of TWA in April 2001.
There was a 6- and a 4-button jacket. The later issues were made by Rodes, also with a 2-button jacket. I have ever seen a short jacket like the british battle-dress of WW II.
This suit was also issued in aviator blue colour (lighter than the former).
At the bottom, an unusal set of the same period.
You might be surprised by the gold metal buttons. This was the first issue of this dress. After complaints that threads were pulled or cut, TWA supplied it with the same plastic charcoal buttons as the suit.
The scarf is also unusual. This one was issued while the crews asked for a fresher look after wearing the same uniform for many years.
Visit also the TWA clipped wings and TWA Silver wings sites were several uniforms are shown.

Cet uniforme fut dessiné par Ralph Lauren et ne changea pratiquement pas jusqu'à la disparition de la compagnie en Avril 2001.
La veste du tailleur existait avec 6 ou 4 boutons. Plus tard Rodes fabriqua aussi des vestes à 2 boutons.
Vous serez sans doute surpris par la robe et le foulard des photos du bas. La robe ferme sur des boutons dorés: il s'agit en fait de la première livraison. Les hôtesses se plaignirent de fils tirés ou coupés et fournit ensuite la robe avec des boutons en plastic noir comme le tailleur.
Le foulard brun est également peu connu. Il fut distribué à la demande des hôtesses qui se plaignaient de porter exactement le même uniforme pendant des années.
