Acrylic Watch Cap - Black

Rothco Acrylic Watch Cap

The watch cap is the plain knit beanie sailors and soldiers have worn for generations to keep their heads warm on cold duty. Rothco's version is knit from acrylic yarn in solid black, with a deep fold-up cuff that puts a second layer of knit over the ears and forehead. It suits range days, outdoor work, hunting camps and everyday winter wear, and it fits easily in a pocket or pack when you take it off.

Features

• Acrylic Yarn — Acrylic is a synthetic fiber and a common choice for people who find wool caps scratchy against the skin.
• Ribbed Knit Body — Vertical ribs, raised columns of knit stitches, let the cap stretch to the head and then draw back in for a close fit.
• Fold-Up Cuff — The wide turned-up band doubles the fabric around the lower edge, where your ears and forehead lose the most heat.
• Adjustable Wear — Roll the cuff higher for a short, sit-on-top look or pull it fully down to cover the ears.
• Gathered Crown — The knit closes neatly at the top of the head, so there is no pom-pom or loose tassel to snag on gear.
• Solid Black Color — A dark, even color that pairs with uniforms, work clothes and civilian outerwear alike.
• No Visible Branding — The outside of the cap is plain knit with no logos or patches.
• Low-Profile Shape — The cap sits close to the head, so it layers under a jacket hood or hearing protection headband.

Acrylic Knit Build

The cap is knit throughout in a medium-gauge rib, the same basic pattern as the traditional military watch cap. Rothco makes it entirely in acrylic, which keeps it light and easy to care for. The rib knit gives it the stretch it needs to fit a range of head sizes, and the cuff can be worn deep or shallow depending on how much coverage you want.
