Why Do Japanese People Like Uniforms?

Which do you think the best cabin crew uniform is? Did you think I would immediately answer “Air Asia?” Indeed, I have to admit their vivid red provocative uniform is stunning, but my favorite is Saron Kebaya from the Singapore Airlines. It may be true that traditional cloths are designed to make local people look best. Having said that, I think it’s difficult to judge cabin crew uniforms separately from their services. In terms of service quality, I strongly believe Japanese airlines (JAL and ANA) are best. There’s nothing special in their uniforms, but they look best to me.

It’s about 1400 years ago that uniforms first appeared in Japanese history. It was attire for noble people to show their ranks, and the fundamental role of wearing uniforms hasn’t changed over a long period of history. It’s always to satisfy the senses of exclusiveness and belonging. Those senses are two sides of the same coin. As the world (especially Japan) is still filled with a lot of uniforms, we can’t seem to live without feeling those senses. Today’s story is about uniforms in Japan.

How do you like our uniform?

After such a rebellion in vain, most of the Japanese people are tamed and get used to wearing uniforms. Consequently, there are many companies who have their own uniforms, and so do we. Surprisingly enough, some people especially coming from overseas seem to like it. They see in our factory our staff work in the uniform and very often say “It looks cool!” For your information, our uniform is available for sale if you are interested in it!
