What makes a shirt a pilot shirt? Pilot shirts were first introduced as a shirt type in the 1930s by the American airline Pan Am. Previously to this pilot shirts were derived from a military design but with the advent of the commercial flying era, a new type of pilot emerged and so the pilot shirt was born. Distinctive by the two button-down flaps on each should (designed to carry rank or other insignia) the pilot shirt has now been used as a uniform shirt for many other sectors such as security, police, fire service, ambulance etc. Our range of personalised pilot shirts means you can choose shirts that are made for both men and women and come in a wide range of colours and sizes. Customising with an embroidered company logo is simple. You can do this online by uploading your logo once you have added your pilot shirts to your basket or you can contact one of our sales team who will provide you with all the help and advice you need to make your choice before sending you a full quote.
