Pilot Uniforms

Have you ever wondered why pilots wear uniforms? They do so to make themselves instantly recognizable when on-board an aircraft or at the terminal. Flight crew need to command respect and authority so their instructions can be followed more readily - a uniform helps with this. A pilot's uniform also portrays a professional image, which helps reassure passengers. Since a pilot has to be in uniform during every flight, it follows that a uniform is one of the best gifts you can give your pilot friend, colleague, or relative. Before you buy a pilot uniform gift for your loved one, you first need to ensure that the item or items will match the requirements in terms of color, fit/cut, and material. 

Here are a few pilot uniform gift ideas. 

Van Heusen Pilot Shirt – Men’s Short Sleeve

Most pilots wear white shirts and a blazer on top. However, not any white shirt will do. Van Heusen Pilot Shirts are short sleeve men’s shirts that are based on the air force dress uniform. The shirts feature double button adjustable cuffs, sewn-on center plackets, mitred bellows pockets, eyelets for name tags or wings above the left pocket, a pencil slot, and epaulets. As you would expect, the material (65% Polyester and 35% Cotton) is wrinkle-free. You can choose between different shades of white as well as different sizes from 14 to 20.

Elite Pilot Shirt – Women’s Long Sleeve

Ladies are more demanding when it comes to clothes - a normal long sleeve shirt will not do. The shirt should not only be professional-looking and comfortable, but it should also be designer quality fabric and should be a perfect fit. The The LadyELITE pilot by AEROPhoenix is a good choice for your gift. The 60% cotton pinpoint oxford fabric gives a consistent “optical white” color, has dress shirt quality, a just-pressed look, and pleated back for added comfort and better movement. For a professional appearance, the shirt comes with cuffed sleeves and pen slots in each pocket, stitched channel on the left side, a real button-down flap on the right pocket, and a “false” instant access flap on the left. 

Flying Eyes “Golden Eagle” Sport Sunglasses

Many pilots wear aviation-quality sunglasses. They offer UV protection and add to the “cool” look. Flying Eyes “Golden Eagle” Sport Sunglasses with UV400 protection and poly-carbonate safety lenses that are shatterproof yet flexible make for a great gift to a pilot. If you have an eye problem, these sunglasses, like everything from Flying Eyes eyewear, are prescription compatible.

Flight Outfitters Floatplane Hat

Floatplane pilot uniforms are not as official-looking as those of pilots of commercial aircraft. A Trucker Hat is a good gift idea for a floatplane pilot. The Flight Outfitters Floatplane Hat, made up of 60% cotton/40% poly, is comfortable and looks great. The top button has been removed so it does not interfere with aviation headsets. You need not worry if it will fit you – the hat’s adjustable hook and loop closure give a near-custom fit.
