USMC VMFA-533 Hawks Felt Leather Jacket Chest Patch — Embroidered Patch
Hawks — VMFA-533's Flight Jacket Tradition
There's something special about a flight jacket patch. It's not just insignia — it's identity. This felt chest patch for VMFA-533 Hawks carries the squadron's heritage in the style that Marine fighter attack pilots have worn since the golden age of leather jackets and painted nose art.
VMFA-533 Hawks operates from MCAS Beaufort, South Carolina, under MAG-31 and the 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing, flying the F-35 Lightning II. The Hawks bring fifth-generation stealth and advanced sensor capability to the Marine Corps' fighter attack mission. This felt leather jacket patch harkens back to the tradition of flight jacket insignia that dates to World War II, when squadron patches were sewn onto leather A-2 and G-1 jackets as badges of identity and pride. Wearing a squadron's chest patch on a flight jacket is one of aviation's most enduring traditions — a visible statement of who you fly with and what you're about.
Perfect For:
VMFA-533 aircrew and maintainers, flight jacket collectors, F-35 Lightning II enthusiasts, MCAS Beaufort Marines, MAG-31 personnel, and anyone who appreciates the tradition of squadron jacket patches.
Hawks on the chest — VMFA-533's flight jacket tradition.
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.
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.
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.
