Wear the Legacy. Army 8th Cavalry — Air Cav — 1st Cavalry Division — Vietnam Service.
The 8th Cavalry Regiment of the 1st Cavalry Division earned its place in history across the jungles and skies of Vietnam — airmobile, fast, relentless, and precise. This premium piqué polo carries that unit identity forward with a bold 3D-enhanced insignia treatment printed with vivid, high-definition clarity directly on the chest. It’s not a tribute piece for a shelf. It’s a daily-wear statement built for the Soldier who was there, the family that carried the weight alongside them, and the 1st Cav community that keeps the story alive long after the mission ends.
The fabric is 100% combed ring-spun cotton at 6.2 oz./yd.² (210 g/m²) — heavier, softer, and more structured than standard polo blanks. Combed ring-spun construction removes short fibers and straightens the long ones, resulting in a smoother, more durable surface that holds its shape wash after wash and wears with a premium hand feel from the first day and the hundredth. The classic fit gives you clean lines across the chest and shoulders without restricting movement. The ribbed collar holds its structure through extended wear. A tone-on-tone 3-button placket keeps the look refined and cohesive. Straight hem with side slits sits cleanly over slacks, shorts, or BDU-inspired casual wear. Spare button included on the inside seam — a detail that says this polo was built to last.
Seven colors — Black, Navy, Red, Mouse Grey, Grey Melange, Sand, and White — in sizes Small through 5XL. The most inclusive size run in the 8th Cavalry collection, built to fit every veteran, family member, and heritage community member who wants to wear the Air Cav with pride.
