Black M1941 Jeep Cap

Knit Cap With A Short Brim

The Rothco Black M1941 Jeep Cap is a ribbed knit cap with a short visor across the front. It keeps your head and ears warm while the brim cuts glare and keeps light rain and snow out of your eyes. The design follows the M1941 knit cap, which US troops wore under the steel helmet in cold weather. Today it suits anyone who works, hunts or spends long hours outdoors through the winter.

Features

• 100% Acrylic Knit — Acrylic is a synthetic yarn that holds warmth like wool, dries faster, and does not itch against the skin.
• Short Knit Visor — A brief brim knitted into the front shades your eyes without the bulk of a full ball-cap peak.
• Full Ear Coverage — The cap sits low enough on the head to cover the ears completely, so cold wind is kept off them.
• Ribbed Cuff Band — A turned-up ribbed band doubles the fabric around the forehead and ears and grips the head so the cap stays put.
• Close-Fitting Profile — The snug, low shape follows the original under-helmet design and layers easily beneath a hood.
• One Size Fits Most — The stretch of the rib knit lets a single size fit a wide range of adult head sizes.
• Plain Black Finish — Solid black with no logos or markings, so it matches work wear, uniforms and field gear alike.
• M1941 Pattern — Rothco describes the cap as an updated design of the WWII-era military classic.

Built On The M1941 Pattern

The original M1941 knit cap, often called the Jeep cap, was issued so soldiers had a warm layer that fit under the steel helmet. Rothco builds this commercial version from 100% acrylic in a fine rib knit, with the visor knitted in rather than sewn on as a separate stiff peak. That keeps the cap soft enough to fold into a pocket, and the whole cap stretches to fit most adult heads.
