Custom C-130 Hat – Custom Engraved Leather Patch Cap

There’s nothing like watching six props spool up before sunrise.

The C-130 isn’t just an aircraft — it’s a lifestyle. Long mission days. Web seats. Engine-running offloads. Crew rest that never feels long enough. And a squadron culture unlike anything else in aviation.

This custom C-130 leather patch hat was built for Herk crews who live it.

Crafted from premium Lone Star Leather® and precision-laser engraved, each patch is deeply engraved for sharp detail and long-term durability — no printed designs, no peeling, no shortcuts.

Built by aircrew. Made for Herk Nation.

Perfect For:

• C-130 Pilots
• Loadmasters
• Flight Engineers
• Crew Chiefs & Maintainers
• Fini-Flights
• Retirement Ceremonies
• Deployment Send-Offs
• Squadron Roll Call
• Herk Veterans

Why Our C-130 Hats Stand Out

✔ Premium Lone Star Leather® patch
✔ Deep laser engraving with crisp aircraft detail
✔ Personalized with tail number, rank, name, or call sign
✔ Mockup approval before production
✔ Veteran-owned, family-operated small business
✔ Designed and engraved in Central Pennsylvania

This isn’t a generic airplane hat — it’s built specifically for the C-130 community.

HerkyBirdCo is a family-owned, veteran-owned small business built by an Air Force aircrew member right here in Central PA.

We’ve lived the long days, the heavy loads, and the pride that comes with wearing your tail on your chest. Every hat is engraved with that same attention to detail.

This isn’t just swag.

It’s a piece of your crew story.

Built with precision. Engraved with pride.

Herk Nation.
