Frequently Asked Questions

What types of pilot hats are best for travel?

Lightweight structured ball caps and mesh-back trucker caps are the best pilot hats for travel because they are compact, breathable, and easy to pack flat in a flight bag or carry-on without losing their shape.

Are pilot hats adjustable?

Yes. Most of our pilot hats and aviation caps use an adjustable snapback or strap closure, so a single hat fits a wide range of head sizes for a secure, custom fit.

Which pilot hat is best for wearing under a headset?

A tactical no-button-crown cap such as the AVIATOR Richardson 112T is best for flying because removing the top button eliminates the pressure point where a headset headband crosses the crown.

Are these pilot hats officially licensed?

Yes. Our licensed caps carry genuine Boeing, Cessna, Bell, Beechcraft, U.S. Air Force, and U.S. Navy branding, and our Aeroplane Apparel Company and Red Canoe lines are authentic original aviation designs.

What materials are pilot hats made from?

Our pilot hats are made from durable cotton, twill, and polyester with breathable mesh backs on the trucker styles, balancing comfort, sun protection, and long-term wear.
