Let us know what do you want to wear? Zenith apparel from EAA

For the past several years we've had EAA (the Experimental Aircraft Association) supply Zenith Aircraft branded shirts, hats, and other accessories through their retail outlets at AirVenture Oshkosh and on their website. This arrangement was to make Zenith branded apparel more readily available to Zenith builders and pilots, while also providing a regular supply of new shirt and cap designs (types and colors, as well as artwork), all while letting Zenith Aircraft focus on airplane kits instead of selling shirts and hats.

EAA has decided to continue supplying Zenith Aircraft branded apparel (mainly t-shirts and hats), but they want us to let them know what shirts and hats you are interested in buying and wearing. Let us know so that we can communicate that back to EAA. We want to offer the apparel that you want to proudly wear and EAA needs to carry inventory that will fly off its shelves, so we need your input!

Please let us know your favorite Zenith Aircraft shirt: What are your fabric preferences? What are your favorite shirt colors? What about the design and logo? Would you buy polos and other collared shirts? Women designs and kid sizes? What about outerwear

Hats are another popular item. What types of hats do you want to wear? Preference with fabrics and styles?

Decals, magnets, and/or patches? Anything else you'd like to see (and buy) with the Zenith logo? Did you know that EAA currently sells Zenith Aircraft magnets and decals (below)?

What about decorative signs and other items for your workshop, office or man cave? Logo coffee cups, glasses or other items?

The idea is to offer Zenith Aircraft builders, pilots and enthusiasts with the branded Zenith apparel that they want buy and wear.

Please let us know in the comments section below your specific likes and dislikes. Also, indicate if you are willing and able to serve on an "ad hoc" advisory committee to advise us (and EAA) on desired apparel. The idea is to work on a suggested list of shirts, hats and accessories, and to suggest color and styles. We obviously can't offer everything, but we can work on a list of items that will appeal to vast majority of Zenith Aircraft builders, pilots and enthusiasts.

Some past t-shirts offered by EAA. What do you like and/or dislike about them?

Most T shirts feature STOL  aircraft.  I fly a 601 and even 650 flyers seem left out.  Hats need the button on top removed.  T shirts need a pocket for sure.

not into the white hats...t-shirts are cool..

I need another Beige/Kahki Zenith hat, but buttonless.  I've worn mine enough that it is getting stained.  White gets dirty too fast.
Also, airplane specific Polos would be nice (with pocket, you know, for sunglasses, pens, etc., a Real Pilot's shirt).  I'm not a big fan of T-shirts, although I do have one of the red Cruzer T-shirts.

I really liked the old style beige hat as well.

And How about a different design stol 701 tee?

A cap along these lines, in various colors (like red, grey, etc.) would be nice.

Also, pit/polo shirts and even dress shirts if possible. Hoodies are a great idea as well. Branded (i.e. Under Armour, New Balance, etc.) moisture-wicking and cold gear apparel could also be nice.

A site like http://merchology.com/ might give some great ideas!

I like the polo shirts with nice lightweight materials and Zenith logo. I would also like a t-shirt or polo shirt depicting the Cruzer model in some format.

I really liked the older style Zenith hat...sort of a beige color with the Zenith logo. Not a big fan of the two-tone hats.

Oh and please no ironed-on sheet logos on the t shirts. I’m talking about those large plastic feeling logo panels that cling to your skin when it’s hot out. 

Comment by Ed & Eric Clark on December 7, 2018 at 7:55pm

how about a larger Zenith logo decal that could be placed on the aircraft?

Comment by Jim and Amelia Isaacs on December 7, 2018 at 7:51pm

Polo shirts in white and neutral colors such as tan, navy, etc. with a small but elegant Zenith logo superimposed over our choice of a generic Zenith low wing or high wing STOL aircraft.  The logo should be located on the breast of the shirt with nothing on the back.  

Not a fan of the ball caps either. Cheap looking.  Use higher quality materials and subdued colors (olive green, khaki, etc) and embroidered Zenith aircraft logos.  I’d buy an outback or bush style or golf style soft brimmed hat with a tasteful logo on the front.
