THE STORY
The Deep South's local airline
Southern flew the small cities of the Deep South out of Atlanta — Martins, then Convairs, then DC-9s into fields the majors never bothered with. On 1 July 1979 it merged with North Central to form Republic. Our Southern designs draw on the DC-9 years — the marks crews wore across the South.
Every garment is printed when you order it, in the USA, with the disclaimer on the label: an independent tribute, for the people who remember.
