Product Details & Size Guide
Keep the pioneering routes of Maddux Air Lines close with a cuffed beanie inspired by Southern California aviation history. The airline launched scheduled flights in 1927, carrying its first passengers between San Diego and Los Angeles aboard a Ford Tri-motor. Its story soon reached San Francisco, Tijuana, and Phoenix before joining the changes that reshaped American air travel. A thoughtful pick for airline history fans, aviation collectors, and anyone who enjoys a distinctive piece of early flight heritage.
Founded in 1927 by Jack L. Maddux, a Los Angeles Ford and Lincoln dealership owner, Maddux Air Lines began scheduled flying on September 22. Its inaugural flight carried 12 passengers from San Diego to Los Angeles aboard a Ford 4-AT Tri-motor. The airline first used the Inglewood Site landing strip, later associated with Los Angeles International Airport, before choosing Rogers Airport and subsequently Grand Central Air Terminal in Glendale. Los Angeles and San Diego became its hubs. Routes expanded to San Francisco in April 1928, with scheduled stops in Fresno and Oakland, and to Agua Caliente in Tijuana that November. Service to Phoenix began in February 1929. Maddux also served as the California connection for Transcontinental Air Transport, whose New York-to-California operations began in July 1929. On November 16, the companies combined as TAT-Maddux Air Lines, with Jack Maddux leading its western operations. In 1930, TAT-Maddux merged with Western Air Express to form Transcontinental & Western Air, later known as TWA. Maddux’s brief history reflects the rapid growth and consolidation of early American passenger aviation.

This cuffed beanie carries a lived-in street energy—soft, warm, and quietly bold. The low-profile embroidery sits on the cuff like a personal insignia: a small, slightly distressed logo with a touch of red that reads as both vintage and current. It slips on easily and stays put through commutes, late-night walks, and chilly market runs, adding a subtle graphic edge without shouting.
Wear it with a worn denim jacket, layered knit, or an oversized coat. It works for creatives who like to curate a look that’s casual but considered, for city cyclists who need dependable warmth, or for anyone who favors compact, tactile details. The hypoallergenic acrylic knit keeps things comfortable against the skin while the 12" cuff gives you styling flexibility—fold it high for warmth or roll it low for a slouchier silhouette. This is a small, everyday piece that quietly completes an outfit and ages into its own personality.
