Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Cessna 70's Logo Patch Trucker Cap made of?
This cap from Aeroplane Apparel Company has a soft, pre-faded cotton front made from faded twill for a broken-in vintage look, plus a classic breathable mesh back that keeps air moving for all-day comfort. A genuine Cessna 70's logo patch sits on the front, blending retro aviation heritage with everyday wear.
Is this an authentic, officially licensed Cessna hat?
Yes. This is an authentic Cessna cap built around a genuine Cessna 70's logo patch, not a generic look-alike, so you get real brand heritage rather than an imitation graphic. Cessna is the well-known American general aviation company behind classic aircraft such as the 172 Skyhawk, and that legacy is reflected in the retro patch design.
What color is this cap and what does the Cessna 70's logo look like?
The front carries a genuine Cessna 70's era logo patch drawn from the brand's classic 1970s aviation styling, set on a soft, pre-faded cotton panel with a weathered finish. The retro patch is the centerpiece of the design. Please check the product photos on this page for the exact colorway shown.
What size is the cap and will it fit most people?
It uses an adjustable closure at the back, so the fit suits a wide range of head sizes without an exact measurement, which also makes it an easy gift. The unisex trucker silhouette works well for men and women alike, whether you wear it at the airfield, at an aviation event, or around town.
Is the mesh back breathable and good for warm weather?
Yes. The classic mesh back is built for breathability, letting air flow through so the cap stays comfortable during long days at the airfield, aviation events, or casual summer wear. The brim shades your eyes, though like all trucker hats the open mesh sides offer less sun coverage than a full fabric cap.
Does this hat have a foam front like some trucker caps?
No. Rather than a stiff foam panel, this cap uses a soft, pre-faded cotton front made from faded twill, giving it a broken-in, vintage feel. The breathable mesh sits on the back for airflow, while the fabric front carries the Cessna 70's logo patch and the thoughtfully distressed look that defines the cap.
How should I clean this trucker cap, and can I machine wash or tumble dry it?
It is best to spot clean by hand and skip the washing machine and dryer. Use cool or lukewarm water with a little mild detergent and a soft brush on the sweatband and brim, then rinse and gently squeeze out the water. Air dry over a jar or stuffed with a towel so it keeps its shape.
Will the cap shrink or fade if I wash it?
The front already has an intentional pre-faded, distressed finish, so light wear and gentle cleaning suit its vintage character. To avoid unwanted shrinking or extra fading, skip hot water and dryer heat, which can tighten the sweatband and warp the brim. Clean by hand in cool water and air dry to keep the fit and look consistent.
How is this different from the other Cessna caps Aeroplane Apparel makes?
Aeroplane Apparel Company offers Cessna caps featuring logos from different eras and color treatments. This version uses the Cessna 70's era logo patch on a soft, pre-faded cotton front with a breathable mesh back. If you specifically want the retro 1970s Cessna branding with a vintage, distressed character, this is the one to choose.
Who makes this cap and who is it best for?
It is crafted by Aeroplane Apparel Company, known for heritage aviation apparel. The distressed finish and iconic logo make it a conversation starter, so it suits pilots, flight instructors, aviation collectors, and vintage fashion fans.
