Everyone who loves aviation has a home field. The airport you fly out of, work at, grew up under, or still drive past slowly to watch what's on approach. Ragged Ass Aviation Supply Co. is open, and our first collection is built around that idea: runway diagram apparel for the airports we know best, plus a handful of tributes to the bush planes that opened up this country.
Runway Diagram Apparel, Drawn From Real Data
Each airport design is drawn from published runway data: the true layout, headings and runway numbers, set under the airport's ICAO code. No clip art, no generic plane silhouette. If you've flown in, worked the ramp or spotted from the fence, you'll recognise it.
The launch lineup covers the fields most of us know best: CYLW Kelowna, CYVR Vancouver, CYYJ Victoria, CYXX Abbotsford, CYKA Kamloops, CYDC Princeton, CYYC Calgary, CYEG Edmonton, CYYZ Toronto, CYUL Montréal, CYOW Ottawa and CYHZ Halifax. Browse them all in Airport Codes, including dad hats and retro truckers in the Hats collection.
Your Airport, Not Ours
Your home field isn't on the list? Order the Your Airport runway diagram and type in any ICAO or IATA code. A person checks every design before it goes to print, and if we can't find runway data for your field, we'll email you before anything is made. Grass strips and small regionals welcome.
Vintage Bush Planes
The second line is a nod to the aircraft that did the hard flying long before any of us: the Noorduyn Norseman, the Bellanca Aircruiser "Flying W" on floats and skis, and the Barkley-Grow, for anyone who has ever frozen their toes in a cold cabin. See the full set in Vintage Bush Planes.
Printed in Canada
Every design comes as a hoodie, crewneck, t-shirt and long sleeve, in a mix of colours. Everything is printed and shipped from Canada, made to order, with 3–5 business days of production before it ships. Shipping is free across Canada on orders over $69.
Why "Ragged Ass"?
Because aviation, at its best, has always had a bit of an edge to it. Early mornings, cold ramps, long delays, and a sense of humour that keeps the whole thing running. This is apparel for everyone who looks up: pilots and crews, mechanics and controllers, plane-spotters, and the kids (of any age) who still stop when one goes over.
