Collection: Embargo Aviation

Running Contraband Since 1962

Inspired by classic airline posters, golden-age aviation, tropical air routes, and legendary aircraft, Embargo Airlines is our aviation collection for people who know their way around a DC-3, a Grumman Mallard, or at least a good story about one.
This collection features vintage aviation t-shirts, retro pilot-inspired graphics, island-hop artwork, and old-school air service designs with just enough humor to keep customs interested.

Our shirts are printed in the US and made with soft, premium-quality fabric that feels great from day one and won’t shrink or fade after repeated washes. Each design is printed using a direct-to-garment dyeing process, so the artwork feels smooth and natural, not thick, stiff, or plastic like cheaper graphic tees.
