Which Fabric is Right for Me

Cirrus

The Cirrus is our most popular fabric. Soft and comforting combed cotton is blended with a polyester core to provide easy care without any chemical finishing. This traditional mid-weight twill has a soft surface without giving up the structured feel commonly expected in a pilot shirt. Available in the greatest number of sizes and fits, the Cirrus provides an optimal balance of durability, wrinkle-resistance, and comfort. The Fitted Cirrus has a Flap Pocket with hidden Velcro closure. The Tapered and Relaxed Cirrus both have an Open Pocket.
