US B-17 Flying Fortress Baseball Cap
KEY FEATURES
The US B-17 Flying Fortress Baseball Cap delivers classic USAAF heavy bomber heritage in an everyday design.
Eighth Air Force Insignia
This cap pays tribute to the legendary Boeing B-17 bomber with detailed needlework. The front displays raised 3D embroidery of the Flying Fortress flanked by wartime operational dates. The left crown features a red panel bearing the Triangle L tail code and serial 483872 of the 381st Bomb Group, alongside the 8th Air Force patch and a mission tally on the right.
Durable Cotton Construction
Built from 100% brushed cotton twill, the six-panel crown offers structured durability and natural breathability. Stitched ventilation eyelets promote continuous airflow across each panel, keeping you cool during warm outdoor events. An integrated internal sweatband wicks moisture, making this headwear comfortable for all-day active wear.
Adjustable Fit and Functional Visor
A pre-curved visor stamped with the USAAF national aircraft insignia shields your eyes from bright sunlight. Around the back, the phrase 12 O'Clock High is stitched above a genuine leather adjustment strap. Fastened with an antique bronze slide buckle stamped with a B-17 silhouette, the strap delivers a secure, customised fit for any head size.
Pair this B-17 Flying Fortress cap with your casual military jacket or outdoor kit for dependable shade and classic aviation heritage.
