The Boston Golden Chandelle Shirt

A shirt worthy of a perfect chandelle.

A good chandelle is pure stick and rudder. Roll in, pitch up, and trade airspeed for altitude through a smooth climbing 180 until the wings come level just above a stall. Done right, it's one of the most graceful things an airplane can do. Done over the Massachusetts coast on a clear fall afternoon, it's even better.

This shirt honors one of our legendary aviation friends based in Plymouth. We set a Boston area VFR chart into a gold tropical blend, and honestly, it could be the finest shirt anyone has ever worn to an airshow. It's bright, it's bold, and pilots will be drawn to it from across the flight line.

Why pilots love it

• A rich gold color that stands out in a sea of airshow t-shirts.
• Ultra lightweight and breathable for long, sunny days on the flight line.
• Wrinkle resistant wash and wear.
• The chart is permanently set into the fabric, and the shirt gets softer every time you wash and wear it.
• A relaxed camp collar with a generous cut.

Buying it as a gift?

Got a pilot who loves the commercial maneuvers, flies out of Plymouth or anywhere around Boston, or never misses an airshow? Gold is a bold choice, and the pilots who wear it are the ones everybody remembers. It also makes a great checkride gift for a brand new commercial pilot, since the chandelle is on the test.
