Build Your Custom Aircrew Hat — Richardson 169 Low Profile

Low profile with a wide, bold front panel. Built for standout patches. Laser-engraved leatherette patch, designed by a C-130 crew member.

The Richardson 169 sits lower on the head with a wider, flatter front panel — giving your patch maximum real estate and a sharper, more refined look. Structured front with a snapback closure. If you want your design front and center, this is the hat for it.

How to Build Your Hat — Follow These Steps:

① Choose Your Design Graphic
The standard aircraft patch design is included at no extra cost. Premium aircraft-specific designs are available as upgrades for +$5. Note: the design is the graphic image on the patch only — not the shape of the patch.

② Choose Your Patch Cutout Shape
This is the physical shape of the leatherette patch (rectangle, oval, shield, etc.) — a separate choice from the design graphic above.

③ Choose Your Patch Color
Select the leatherette patch color.

④ Add Text or Extras (Optional)
Tail number (+$2), name/call sign on front (+$3), rear patch. Enter your aircraft/platform in the text field.

• Durable laser-engraved leatherette patch
• Flightline ready, built for daily wear
• Fully customizable to your aircraft and role
