Aviation tee featuring a soaring glider plane and retro sunset stripes—designed for pilots, aviation enthusiasts, and dreamers of the skies.
The story behind this design
A small, sleek aircraft is illustrated mid-flight across concentric sunset stripes in rust, yellow, and orange, layered over a dark forest silhouette. Above, 'I'd Rather Be Flying' appears in distressed white capital letters. The color palette—warm reds and golds fading into black—evokes a vintage travel poster or classic aviation pin-up aesthetic. Everything feels balanced and purposeful: the plane angled upward, the stripes suggesting both altitude and timelessness. There's a quiet confidence to the design, speaking to those for whom flying isn't just a hobby but a part of their identity.
Who it's for
Made for pilots, flight instructors, and serious aviation enthusiasts who'd rather be in the air. Also suits anyone who admires retro design, aerospace history fans, and those who dream of learning to fly. A meaningful gift for someone celebrating their pilot's license, starting flight school, or returning to the sky after time away.
