Custom laser-engraved leatherette patch hats for the aviation and military community. Pick your hat style, choose your patch color, and share your design details at checkout — we'll send you a digital proof before a single hat goes into production.
The Aviation Hats collection from HerkyBirdCo is inspired by the aircraft, crews, and culture that make aviation unique. From military airlift and tanker missions to airline and cargo operations, these laser-engraved leather patch hats represent the pride of the flightline. Many designs feature aircraft such as the Lockheed C-130 Hercules, the Boeing C-17 Globemaster III, and the Boeing KC-135 Stratotanker. Each hat is engraved and assembled in our Central Pennsylvania workshop and built for pilots, aircrew, maintainers, and aviation enthusiasts.
