Pride in your ship doesn’t end when you step off the deck. The USS Bataan Leather Patch Hat is built to carry the legacy of one of the Navy’s most respected vessels everywhere you go. Designed for sailors, veterans, and supporters who know what it means to serve, this hat brings the same grit and determination as the crew it represents.
Choose Your Patch, Choose Your Story This hat features your choice of two bold patch designs, each pressed into genuine full-grain leather. Go with the classic Crash Crew Rate patch to honor the men and women who make flight deck operations possible. Or pick the high-octane Drag Racer design, a nod to the speed, intensity, and adrenaline that defines life aboard the USS Bataan. Both designs are detailed with crisp burn lines and finished by hand, giving each patch character that lasts. Over time, the leather develops a natural patina, so no two hats will ever look exactly alike.
Built on a Richardson Hat You Can Trust The foundation is a premium Richardson hat — the go-to choice for dependable fit and durability. The structured crown holds its shape while still wearing comfortably through long days, and the curved bill keeps glare down whether you’re at sea or ashore. The mesh back allows for airflow in hot conditions, and the sweatband keeps you comfortable whether you’re running drills, relaxing off duty, or taking part in a reunion. An adjustable closure ensures a secure fit that works for every sailor, veteran, or supporter.
Not Just Apparel — A Badge of Pride This isn’t a souvenir to toss in a drawer. The USS Bataan Leather Patch Hat is functional gear built for daily wear, carrying the same toughness and reliability that defines the crew it represents. Whether you’re still serving, honoring your time aboard, or showing support for a loved one, this hat is a tangible symbol of connection to the ship and its history.

Active Duty & Veterans – Carry the USS Bataan with you on shore leave, liberty, or post-service life.
