Frequently Asked Questions
What material is the Red Canoe Skunk Works cap made from
It is made from 100 percent brushed cotton twill. Brushed cotton has a softened surface that feels comfortable against the head, and the twill weave adds durability. The construction is built to hold up during long flying days or hangar work while keeping the cap soft and easy to wear all day.
What size is this cap and will it fit me
It is designed to fit a wide range of head sizes and is offered as a unisex cap for men and women. Buyers with larger heads have reported it ran small even at the widest adjustment, so buyers near the upper end of the size range should keep that in mind before ordering.
How does the cap adjust on the back
The cap uses a Velcro hook and loop strap at the back that you pull to loosen or tighten. That adjustable design lets one cap accommodate many head sizes without buckles or snaps, makes it quick to put on and take off, and keeps it easy to give as a gift.
What logos and aircraft are shown on the cap
The front carries the Skunk Works and Lockheed branding rendered as a dimensional felt logo with direct embroidery. The design references the SR-71 Blackbird and Skunk Works heritage, and a woven United States flag patch sits on the back. It celebrates legendary aircraft tied to Lockheed Martin advanced aerospace engineering.
What is Skunk Works
Skunk Works is the well known nickname for Lockheed Martin Advanced Development Programs, the company secretive research and engineering division. It is widely credited with groundbreaking aircraft including the U-2, the SR-71 Blackbird, and the F-117 Nighthawk. Wearing the cap connects you to that storied aerospace engineering legacy.
How do I clean and care for the cap
Treat this cap as a premium embroidered hat. Gently spot clean any marks with a damp cloth and a little mild soap, then let it air dry. Avoid machine washing and machine drying, which can distort the shape and stress the felt and embroidered logos. Gentle care keeps the cotton twill and detailing looking sharp.
What color does the cap come in
The product code ends in BK, indicating a black cap. A dark base lets the felt Skunk Works logo, the embroidered detailing, and the woven US flag patch stand out clearly. Black is a versatile choice that pairs easily with casual wear, flight gear, or office attire for everyday use around the airport.
Is this an officially licensed Lockheed Martin product
Yes. It is made under official Skunk Works licensing, which gives it genuine aviation heritage rather than the generic branding found on unlicensed pilot accessories. Red Canoe is known for historically accurate aviation gifts, so the markings and design reflect authentic Lockheed Martin and Skunk Works heritage you can wear with pride.
Who is this cap a good gift for

The Skunk Works and SR-71 Blackbird theme appeals to anyone who admires advanced aircraft design.

Is the cap durable and how is the logo applied
It is built for durability and comfort. The 100 percent brushed cotton twill body is made to hold its shape, and the logo is applied with felt applique and direct embroidery rather than a printed graphic, so the markings resist wear. Reviewers consistently praise its quality, shape, and fit.
Who makes this cap and where is the brand from
