The Best Aviation Shirts

If you are selecting a pilot shirt there are a few factors to consider.

1.       Quality – Polyester is the fabric of choice when it comes to aviation shirts. Consider a shirt that has durability and stain-resistance on its side! When looking for a quality shirt, check the fabric to make sure you won’t pull it, as well as the ability to stay crisp during long flights. This is especially noticeable if the fabric can easily wrinkle.

2.       Comfort – Consider what you would like to be in for a very long flight. Look into polyester, as well as cotton to win when it comes to comfort. Both of these fabrics have stretch and move to them, which makes them both great options for aviation shirts.

3.       Design – Finally design will give you the personalization to your pilot shirt. This could include long or short sleeves, mainly determined by your normal temperature when under stress in the cockpit. You might also consider pocket type as an option as it is one of the only detailed changes from shirt to shirt. Choices usually include a flat or functional pocket or even pleated. 

 

All in all, brand reputation can dictate as much as quality, comfort and design put together. Brands like Van Heusen and Eagle have some great reviews from wearers of aviation shirts!
