FABRIC

This is 100% cotton, woven lightweight for warm-weather comfort. The slub yarn creates small, natural variations in the fabric, giving it a little texture and character instead of a perfectly flat, factory-smooth finish.

Bottom line: it is breathable, comfortable and has enough structure to hang like a good shirt without feeling heavy.

The Quick Specs

  • 100% cotton
  • Lightweight woven fabric
  • 140 GSM fabric weight
  • Natural slub texture
  • Breathable and comfortable


Care

Machine wash cold with similar colors to help preserve the artwork and prevent fading. Reshape while damp and line dry for the longest color life, or tumble dry on low heat for everyday ease. Do not bleach.

Wrinkles happen. Iron inside out using low to medium heat, increasing the temperature only as needed. Avoid leaving the iron in one spot for too long.

MADE TO ORDER

Every All Ranks shirt is printed, cut and sewn after you order it. By making shirts one at a time instead of filling a warehouse with inventory, we can carry more aircraft, honor more units and keep more aviation stories in circulation, including the ones that may never become mass-market bestsellers.

The tradeoff is time. Please allow 7–14 days for production before shipping. Standard shipping time is additional and begins once your shirt leaves the facility.

Need it for a special occasion? Give yourself plenty of time. These are not last-minute shirts. They are stories worth waiting for.

SHIPPING & RETURNS

Your shirt is made after you order it, so please allow 7–14 days for production before shipping. Standard shipping time is additional. We will send tracking information as soon as your shirt is on the way.

Delivery dates are estimates, and carrier delays can happen. If you need your shirt for a special occasion, give it plenty of runway.

Need a different size? We offer one size exchange within 30 days of delivery. The shirt must be unworn, unwashed and returned in its original condition. Return shipping is the customer’s responsibility.

Since every shirt is made to order, we do not accept general returns for a change of mind. Shirts that have been washed, dried, worn or altered cannot be exchanged.

Did we miss something? Inspect your shirt before washing it. If it arrives damaged, defective or incorrect, contact us within 7 days of delivery with clear photos of the shirt, packaging and shipping label. Transit damage should be reported within 72 hours. If the problem is ours, we will make it right.

Small differences in color and artwork placement are normal with individually printed, cut and sewn shirts and are not considered defects.

Please review your size and shipping address carefully before ordering. Changes and cancellations are not guaranteed once production begins.

Pay Tribute

In Desert Storm, VA-72 helped close the Navy Corsair II’s combat chapter with strikes against Iraqi forces. This shirt honors the attack mission carried through to the final combat launch, before the A-7 left the carrier fleet.

Raise Your Glass

Here’s to the crews who put the jets over the target and the weapons where they counted. To steady nerves on the attack run and a hook that caught the wire. First round’s for the team. The next one’s for the stories that never made the cruise book.

Behind the Design

A-7 Corsair II

The A-7 Corsair II carried the attack from carrier decks and land bases, delivering weapons against enemy targets and supporting troops on the ground.

Attack Squadron 72

Established in 1945 as a fighter squadron, the unit became Attack Squadron 72 in 1956 and took the A-4 Skyhawk into combat over Vietnam. It later flew the A-7 Corsair II, delivering weapons against ground targets from Navy carriers. During Desert Storm, its A-7Es flew from USS John F. Kennedy alongside VA-46 in the aircraft’s final Navy combat campaign, before VA-72 disestablished in June 1991.

Operation Desert Storm

Operation Desert Storm brought a U.S.-led coalition together to drive Iraqi forces out of Kuwait in 1991.

Blue Hawks insignia

The Blue Hawks carried their hawk insignia from the A-4 Skyhawk years through their final A-7 Corsair II deployment.
