Frequently Asked Questions
Is this t-shirt officially licensed by Cessna?
Yes. This shirt carries authentic Cessna licensing from the manufacturer. Unlike generic aviation apparel, the official license ensures the Cessna 172 Skyhawk branding and imagery are genuine, and that your purchase supports the actual aircraft manufacturer's heritage.
What does the graphic show on this shirt?
The shirt features a retro poster-style image of a red Cessna 172 Skyhawk in flight, with bold Cessna 172 Skyhawk lettering. This is a detail that fellow pilots immediately recognize and appreciate, as it depicts the Skyhawk in one of its most familiar and iconic attitudes.
What fabric is this shirt made from?
The shirt is made from a 60/40 blend of combed ring-spun cotton and polyester. This blend combines the softness and breathability of natural cotton with the shape retention and durability of polyester, resulting in a shirt that stays comfortable across a full day of wear.
Will this shirt shrink after washing?
The fabric is pre-shrunk, which minimizes shrinkage. You can machine wash this shirt according to the care instructions without worrying about it coming out noticeably smaller than when you purchased it.
What sizes are available?
The shirt is available in sizes small through 2XL. If you are between sizes, it fits true to size based on customer feedback.
What construction details make this shirt durable?
The shirt features a ribbed crewneck collar and double-needle stitching throughout. Double-needle stitching adds reinforcement at the seams and hem, resisting the fraying and distortion that often affect lower-quality printed tees after repeated washing and wearing.
Who makes this shirt?
This shirt is produced by Aeroplane Apparel Company, a brand that specializes in officially licensed aviation apparel. Their focus on detailed aircraft imagery and quality construction makes them a recognized name among pilots looking for authentic aviation clothing.
Is this a good gift for a Cessna pilot or flight instructor?
Yes. The official Cessna licensing, retro 172 Skyhawk graphic, and quality construction make this a thoughtful and well-received gift for student pilots, licensed pilots, flight instructors, and aviation enthusiasts who have a connection to the world's most popular training aircraft.
How should I care for this shirt to preserve the graphic?
Follow the care instructions on the garment label. Generally, washing in cold water and tumble drying on low heat will preserve both the fabric and the printed graphic. Turning the shirt inside out before washing helps protect the image from direct abrasion in the wash cycle.
It's a nice shirt but I had a couple of negatives. They run small. I'd definitely recommend ordering one size larger than normal. It was tight before I washed it the first time. Secondly, there was a few "pills" in the fabric on the inside of the shirt. Because it is tight they are kind of annoying. Looks nice but I may have to give it away because I doubt I'll wear it much.
all products were what I wanted good size
This feels good and fits very well too. Tight around the arms and collar and is true to fit.
