Frequently Asked Questions

Is the McDonnell Douglas patch genuine, and is this cap officially licensed?

Yes. This Aeroplane Apparel Company cap features a genuine McDonnell Douglas patch, authentically distressed with authentic branding. Because it carries a real heritage patch rather than a generic graphic, aviation enthusiasts and collectors view it as a true heritage piece. The McDonnell Douglas name is part of the Boeing family today.

What style of cap is this, and how does it differ from a baseball cap?

It is a vintage style aviation trucker cap. The fabric front panel carries the McDonnell Douglas patch, while the rear uses a classic open mesh back for ventilation. A standard baseball cap is usually solid fabric all the way around, so this trucker design runs cooler and more breathable for hangars, ramps, and flight lines.

What is this cap made of?

The cap pairs a fabric front panel that holds the McDonnell Douglas patch with a classic mesh back for breathable, all day comfort. Aeroplane Apparel Company does not publish a full fiber breakdown for this style, so for an exact material composition we recommend confirming with us before ordering. The mesh back is the defining structural feature.

What color is this McDonnell Douglas cap?

The cap has an intentionally faded, distressed vintage finish rather than a bright new look, which is part of its worn in aviation heritage styling. Because the exact shade can vary by production run, the product photos on this page are your most accurate guide to the current color before you buy.

What size is this cap, is it adjustable, and is it comfortable?

It is offered as a single trucker style cap rather than in lettered sizes, and trucker caps in this style use an adjustable rear closure so one cap fits a wide range of adult heads. A verified buyer called it very comfortable and noted it fit perfectly even on a smaller head, with a soft mesh back.

Who is this McDonnell Douglas cap best for?

It suits aviation enthusiasts, industry veterans, working aviation professionals, and collectors of aviation memorabilia, plus anyone who appreciates the legacy of American aircraft manufacturing. It works well on the ramp, at air shows, or for everyday casual wear. Designed for men, women, and unisex wear, it also makes a strong gift for a pilot, mechanic, or aerospace fan.

What aircraft did McDonnell Douglas build, and is it part of Boeing now?

Founded in 1967, McDonnell Douglas built groundbreaking military and commercial aircraft, including the F-15 Eagle fighter and the DC-10 widebody airliner. The company is also widely known for the MD-80 series and MD-11. McDonnell Douglas merged with Boeing in 1997, so its heritage now lives on under the Boeing name.

Where is this cap made?

No country of origin is published for this cap, and Aeroplane Apparel Company does not provide that detail for this style. If origin matters for your purchase, we recommend confirming with us before ordering so we can give you accurate, current information rather than a guess. The genuine McDonnell Douglas patch remains the key feature.

Is free shipping or returns available on this cap?

Free standard shipping is available within the United States on orders over $100, and standard returns are available under our store return policy.

How should I clean a mesh trucker cap like this without damaging it?

Spot clean by hand using cool water and a small amount of mild detergent with a soft brush, then rinse gently. Avoid the washing machine and never use a dryer, since high heat and tumbling can distort the mesh and the shape of the cap. Reshape it while damp and let it air dry away from direct heat.
