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 — the red runway designation, black airport location sign, and hold short markings — 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, we'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. We build the sign exactly how 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, or Legacy Relaxed Twill. Pick your colour from the charts below.
- Adjustable snapback — one size fits most
- Made to order — ships in 10–15 business days
- 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.
Wear the set. The same hold short sign comes as a shirt — your sign on the front, your airport's full airfield diagram on the back. See the Hold Short Line T-Shirt →

Love the hat!! Definitely can’t wait to get more in other colors soon!! Shows the runway numbers of the airport closest to me, love wearing it!!
High quality hat with a great looking logo. I've had several compliments on the hat and will order again in the future.
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.
Absolutely love my hats. One for me, and one as a special gift! Unique, Quality, and wonderful service! Order one (or more). You won’t be disappointed!
