Acrylic Watch Cap - Olive Drab

Olive Drab Watch Cap

The watch cap is the plain, brimless knit hat that sailors and soldiers have worn for generations to stay warm on cold duty. Rothco's version is knit from acrylic in olive drab, with a close rib and a deep fold-up cuff. It is a simple layer for cold mornings at the range, in the field, on the job site or around town.

Features

• Acrylic Knit — The synthetic yarn holds its shape and avoids the scratchy feel some people get from wool caps.
• Ribbed Construction — Vertical ribs run the full height of the cap, so it stretches to sit snug on a range of head shapes.
• Fold-Up Cuff — A wide turned-up band puts a double layer of knit over the forehead and ears, where the cold hits first.
• Wear It Two Ways — Keep the cuff rolled for a short, close fit, or pull the cap down full length for more coverage.
• Olive Drab Color — Olive drab, often called OD green, is the muted field green long used on US military gear and matches most surplus and tactical clothing.
• Brimless Profile — With no brim or pompom, the cap sits low and fits easily under a jacket hood.
• Gathered Crown — The knit narrows to a closed top, giving the cap its rounded shape without a bulky seam.
• Plain Face — There is no visible logo or patch on the outside, so the cap stays low-key.

Build and Fit

Rothco knits this cap in a tight rib stitch from acrylic yarn, a common choice for cold-weather headwear that you plan to wear hard. The stretch of the rib does most of the fitting work, and the cuff lets you adjust how deep the cap sits. It looks at home with field jackets, work coats and surplus outerwear.
