The Catalina to Palm Springs VFR Cruise Shirt

From the Airport in the Sky to the desert, in deep gold.

Every SoCal pilot hears about Catalina long before they fly it. The runway sits up on a ridge, it humps in the middle so you can't see the far end until you're rolling, and the buffalo burger afterward is practically mandatory. Then comes the cruise east, across the basin, under the Bravo shelves, past the Inland Empire until the Coachella Valley finally opens up in front of you.

This VFR cruise shirt carries the real Los Angeles Sectional Chart, set into a deep gold and brown Hawaiian print. The warm tones are quiet enough to blend in on the martini deck after a long flight. Lean in, though, and the airports, nav aids, and airspace start appearing, and that's when the good conversations begin.

What makes it a favorite

• Earthy gold reads more relaxed than loud, so it works with khakis, jeans, or shorts.
• Ultra lightweight and breathable for a warm ramp at Palm Springs.
• Wrinkle resistant wash and wear. Pack it, pull it out, wear it.
• It gets softer and more comfortable every time you wash and wear it.
• Classic camp collar and a relaxed, easygoing cut.

Buying it as a gift?

For the pilot who has made the Catalina run, or keeps saying this is the year they will. The gold colorway is the grown-up pick of our Southern California shirts: dressy enough for dinner in Palm Springs, easy enough for a lazy afternoon at the FBO.

Made just for you

Every shirt is sewn to order just for you. Our Hawaiian shirts are cut generously, so check the size chart before you choose.

Designed by pilots in Michigan. Mind the hump on Catalina.
