Flight Time Vintage Tee

A gift for the pilot whose best hour of the week is logged in a logbook, from the family who knows where they would rather be. A trainer climbs out of a sunburst above I Don’t Need Therapy, I Need Flight Time, with a runway, a tower, a headset, a radio and an enamel mug, painted like an old airfield sign.

About the design

A vintage aviation t-shirt with I Don’t Need Therapy, I Need Flight Time over an airfield scene with a climbing trainer and a sunburst. Printed on the Comfort Colors 1717 garment-dyed tee, soft, relaxed and made to fade a little with every wash. Made as a gift for pilots, student pilots and the people who fly with them.

The shirt

Every Pilots.gift tee is printed on the Comfort Colors 1717, a 6.1 oz heavyweight cut from 100% ring-spun cotton. It is garment-dyed, which means the shirt is sewn first and dyed afterward, so the color settles into the fiber instead of sitting on top of it. That is why it feels broken in the first time you put it on, and why it keeps getting softer rather than wearing thin. The cut is relaxed rather than close. The collar is ribbed and topstitched, and twill tape runs shoulder to shoulder so the shirt holds its shape through years of washing. Because every garment takes the dye a little differently, no two are exactly alike — a small variation that is part of how this cotton is made, not a flaw in it. We chose this blank for a simple reason: a design worth keeping deserves a shirt worth keeping.
