The Catalina to Palm Springs Blue VFR Shirt with pocket

Ocean to desert in one sectional.

Southern California is a world unto itself, and it only gets better when you're high above it. In a single flight you can leave the Pacific behind at Catalina, thread the busiest airspace in the West across the Los Angeles basin, squeeze through Banning Pass with San Jacinto towering on one side and San Gorgonio on the other, and drop into the palm trees and heat shimmer of Palm Springs. Marine layer at breakfast, desert sun by lunch.

This classic Pilot Quarters look carries that whole span. The real VFR sectional chart between Catalina and Palm Springs is set into a blue tropical Hawaiian shirt print, and it will feel amazing and look even better any time you're VFR, MVFR, IFR, or deep in IMC. From across the room it's a sharp Southern California shirt. Up close, pilots start tracing their routes from the coast to the Coachella Valley.

Why you'll reach for this one

• An open chest pocket on the left side for sunglasses, a pen, or a fuel receipt.
• Lightweight and breathable, comfortable whether it's 68 at the beach or 108 in the desert.
• Wrinkle resistant wash and wear, ready for a weekend in Palm Springs.
• It gets softer and more comfortable every time you wash and wear it.
• Relaxed camp collar and an easy, generous cut.

Buying it as a gift?

For the SoCal pilot who flies to the desert for winter weekends, the Catalina regular, or the airline pilot who has seen this whole stretch from the flight deck, this is the one that feels personal. The pocket makes it a little more practical, which pilots always appreciate.
