HC-130J & HH-60 Air Refueling Patch Hat – Laser Engraved Leatherette

HC-130J & HH-60 Air Refueling Patch Hat – Laser Engraved Leatherette

Two hundred feet off the deck at a hundred and ten knots, hose streamed, and a helicopter flying formation on a Herc. Helicopter air refueling is the slowest, lowest, most uncomfortable thing either aircraft does — and it is the only reason a Jolly Green II can go get somebody four hundred miles inside the fence and come back.

I cut it as a side profile: the Combat King up front, the hose trailing, the Hawk on the drogue. Laser-engraved leatherette patch, mounted on your choice of hat.

  • Laser-engraved premium leatherette patch — engraved, not printed
  • Your choice of hat — Richardson 112, 115, 169 or 326, Legacy Old Favorite Trucker, Legacy Relaxed Twill, or Flexfit 6277. Pick your color from the charts below.
  • Adjustable fit — one size fits most (the Flexfit 6277 is fitted: choose S/M or L/XL)
  • Made to order — 10–15 business days from order to your door
  • Made in Pennsylvania by a veteran-owned shop, one at a time

Built for HC-130 and HH-60 crews — the HH-60W Jolly Green II today, the HH-60G Pave Hawk that flew the mission for 44 years before it — the PJs in the back, the maintainers who launch them, and anybody who has held the CSAR alert.

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.
