Why AEROTRADITION
We've been designing custom military goodies since 2018. Not a reseller. Not a platform. An independent French workshop that speaks the same language as squadron offices — from brief to velcro.
01
Heritage officers, section leaders, mess offices, unit communications. Structures that order rarely (one squadron a year, a change-of-command, a promotion that's graduating) but want a partner who understands the codes — from rank to internal protocol.
What sets us apart
01
Our minimums are calibrated to the reality of a squadron — an aircrew, a class, a detachment. You order what you'll actually wear, with no surplus crate to get rid of.
02
Before any signature. Our studio draws the proof from your brief — even verbal, even rough. No production starts without an approved proof: zero unpleasant surprises.
03
3D PVC, embroidery, NATO-spec woven, engraved leather, felt, enamelled metal, sublimation. Instead of juggling three suppliers for a patches + coins + tapes pack, you speak to one person.
04
Patches, name tapes, pennants and most series are manufactured in France. A few specific steps — depending on technique and order — are entrusted to partner workshops that do them better than we could. Studio, project follow-up, quality control and logistics: 100% from France.
05
Your crests stay yours. No stock kept, no surplus resold, never re-produced for a third party. A completed order means production closed — files, moulds and dies dedicated to your unit alone.
06
Mali, Djibouti, UAE, West Bank — we ship to where your unit is deployed, not just the official postal address. Automatic WhatsApp tracking the day it leaves.
07
We understand public-sector paperwork — bank details, quote with payment-order reference, lead times aligned with your payment schedule. No need to explain what a payment order is to your supplier.

Good fit
Not a fit
What we won't do
We don't produce one-off pieces (except artwork prototypes). We don't keep a standard stock for 48-hour shipping: everything is made to order after the proof is approved.
Depending on the technique, a few specific steps (metal stamping, PVC moulding, heavy CNC work depending on the parts…) are entrusted to partner workshops that do them better than we could — always under our quality control before shipping.
If any of these points is a deal-breaker, tell us: we'll point you towards the right resource.
