Barnstormers USA recently unveiled its first retail display in the United States. The French-based vintage aviation company created a custom display at the Military Aviation Museum store in Virginia Beach. The company is rapidly expanding its presence across museums nationwide, offering custom-crafted apparel for each location, as well as for the USAF Thunderbirds. Each item in the Military Aviation Museum’s collection celebrates one of the historic aircraft in its collection.
Founders Victoria and Maxime were inspired to create Barnstormers USA after a memorable trip to the Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum. They envisioned a clothing line that embodies the spirit of the barnstormer, appealing to both aviation and automotive enthusiasts. Their line tells the story of mechanical ingenuity and human achievement in aviation and automotive history.
From legendary polo shirts to their iconic jacket inspired by WWII uniforms, Barnstormers USA collections create a tangible connection to history, blending elegance with nostalgia. These exclusive pieces allow wearers to connect with the myths, legends, and historic feats celebrated in each design. For more information, visit www.barnstormer-usa.com
