From Tomcats to Super Hornets — the Fighting Checkmates have been in the fight since Korea.

VFA-211 "Fighting Checkmates" (formerly VF-211) is a U.S. Navy strike fighter squadron flying the F/A-18F Super Hornet out of NAS Oceana, Virginia, as part of Carrier Air Wing 11. The Checkmates trace their lineage to 1948 and have flown Corsairs, Demons, Crusaders, Phantoms, and Tomcats through Korea, Vietnam, and the Global War on Terror. This premium leather patch renders the legendary Checkmates insignia in a classic format.

VFA-211 and VF-211 alumni, F/A-18 Super Hornet and F-14 Tomcat enthusiasts, CVW-11 personnel, and leather patch collectors.

Checkmate — in leather.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose the right backing?

If you want to swap patches on/off gear, choose hook & loop (velcro). If you’re attaching permanently to uniforms or fabric, choose sew-on. If you want quick application on compatible fabric, choose iron-on / heat seal (when offered). Backing options are shown on the page and update based on the variant you select.

What size is this item?

Size is shown on the product page and updates with the variant you select (example: 3"). If you’re mounting on a hat or small panel, choose smaller sizes; for plate carriers and display boards, larger sizes fit better.

Are these Officially Licensed?

If the product is officially licensed, it will say “Officially Licensed” in the title and/or in the product details. If it doesn’t, it’s still a legitimate product—just not part of a licensed program.

Do you offer bulk or reruns for units/squadrons?

Yes. If you see a note like “bulk reruns available,” that means we can support group orders or reruns. If you don’t see it, contact us with the unit/squadron and quantity and we’ll confirm options.

Can you make a custom patch / name tag / lanyard / apparel?

Yes—custom solutions are available (patches, name tags, lanyards, apparel). Use the custom request page and include artwork, size, backing preference, and quantity.
