Hold Short Runway Hat – Any Airport, Any Runway | UV Leatherette | V1Rot8

Hold Short Runway Hat – Any Airport, Any Runway | UV Leatherette | V1Rot8

Hold short of YOUR runway. Every pilot has an airport that means something — where you soloed, where you fly the line, where home plate is. This hat reproduces your airport's runway holding position sign as a full-colour UV-printed leatherette patch, built with your airport identifier and runway numbers.

Any field, including the big ones. ATL, JFK, DFW, ORD, PHL, THV — or the uncontrolled strip you learned to fly out of. If it has a hold short line, I'll build it.

How to order: enter your airport identifier (e.g. PHL, KLRF, DFW) and runway designation (e.g. 27L-9R) in the personalization fields. I build the sign exactly how you'd see it from the taxiway.

  • The red runway designation and black airport location sign, exactly as you'd see it from the taxiway
  • Full-colour UV-printed leatherette patch, built with your airport identifier and runway designation
  • Your choice of hat — Richardson 112, 115, 169 or 326, Legacy Old Favorite Trucker, Legacy Relaxed Twill, or Flexfit 6277. Pick your colour from the charts below.
  • Adjustable fit — one size fits most (the Flexfit 6277 is fitted: choose S/M or L/XL)
  • Made to order — I email you an artwork proof first, then it arrives 10–15 business days after you approve it
  • Ships to APO/FPO — about 10 days to most locations
  • Veteran-owned, designed by aircrew

Part of the V1Rot8 aviation lifestyle line — built for pilots, aircrew, maintainers, and the people who love the field.

Save $14.92 — get the set

Same airport, same runway, on the hat and on a matching tee. The Hold Short Set is $54.92 for both — $14.92 less than buying them separately. You enter your field once and I build both pieces from it.

Snapback

Richardson 112 — Classic Trucker
Mid-profile 5-panel, structured front, mesh back. The one everybody knows — holds its shape and sits square.
Richardson 115 — Low Pro Trucker
Same hat as the 112 with a shorter crown and flatter visor. Sits closer to the head.
Richardson 169 — Cannon
High-profile 7-panel, flat bill, laser-perforated performance polyester. No mesh — the whole cap breathes. Water resistant.
Legacy OFA — Old Favorite Trucker
Relaxed 6-panel, soft washed front, mesh back. Broken-in the day it arrives.

Adjustable strap

Richardson 326 — Peached Twill Dad Hat
Low-profile 6-panel, unstructured, soft peached cotton. No stiffener. The off-duty option.
Legacy EZA — Relaxed Twill Dad Hat
Unstructured washed twill, curved bill, sits low. The most casual cap on the board.

Fitted — no strap

Flexfit 6277 — Cotton Blend Cap
Structured 6-panel, mid-profile, Permacurv visor, elastic sweatband. The only cap here that is not one-size — it comes in S/M and L/XL, so pick your size with the hat. If you are between sizes, go up.

The hat came out great. I got RDU with 5L-23R. I'm a plane spotter and can't wait to show everyone. Love it.
