It is the buyer's responsibility to make correct choices regarding size. I will make that as easy and thorough for you as possible. It is usually contained with the descriptive photos. IF YOU ARE UNSURE THE RULE OF THUMB IS TO SIZE UP. Returns due to sizing issues will not be accepted. Only physically defective items can be returned.

Custom and personalized orders

ALL of our items are custom printed for you on demand. Therefore, only products that are physically defective can be returned. Do not return any defective item until you've contacted me. The buyer is responsible for the cost of returns. Aside from items delivered damaged or defective ALL SALES ARE FINAL. I'm unable to offer personalized orders at this time.

Gift wrapping and packaging

I'm unable to offer gift wrapping at this time.

My manufacturer recommends machine wash warm and tumble dry medium. Darker colors I recommend machine wash cold and tumble dry medium. If any items need to be ironed, iron on the reverse side or turn the t-shirt/sweatshirt inside out to reduce the possibility of altering the print. PLEASE BE AWARE THAT DURING PEAK BUSINESS PERIODS, CHRISTMAS FOR EXAMPLE, DELIVERY TIMES MAY BE LONGER. ALL BUYERS ARE PROVIDED WITH TRACKING NUMBERS AND IT IS THE BUYER'S RESPONSIBILITY TO MONITOR THE SECURE DELIVERY OF THEIR ITEMS.

🛩️ 1939–1942 U.S. Military Roundel Hat
WWII Embroidered Cap | Early War Army & Navy Emblem | Distressed Vintage Dad Hat

This iconic embroidered roundel represents the official U.S. military aircraft insignia used between 1939 and mid-1942, before the red center was removed to avoid confusion with Japanese markings. This version appeared on both Army Air Corps and Navy aircraft — including the F4F Wildcat, SBD Dauntless, P-40 Warhawk, and B-17 Flying Fortress.

Whether you’re a collector, veteran, or fan of WWII aviation history, this patch evokes the dawn of American air power across Europe, the Pacific, and North Africa.

Crafted on a classic distressed dad cap, it’s a sharp tribute to the aircraft and crews that helped shape the outcome of WWII.

Authentic 1939–1942 U.S. military roundel (embroidered)

Distressed brim and crown for a broken-in vintage feel
100% pre-shrunk cotton twill
