Olive Drab 8-Point Utility Cap

Marine-Style Utility Cover

The Rothco Olive Drab 8-Point Utility Cap follows the classic Marine Corps utility cover, the eight-cornered field cap worn with combat utilities. It has a short, stiff visor like a baseball cap and is designed to be creased and peaked for a sharp, squared-off look. With a plain front and a cotton/polyester build, it suits uniform wear, training, field days and everyday use.

Features

• Eight-Point Crown — The top is cut with eight corners, the defining shape of the Marine Corps utility cover, and it holds a crease well.
• 55/45 Cotton-Polyester Blend — The fabric is 55% cotton for comfort and 45% polyester for strength and shape retention.
• 2-Ply Construction — Two layers of fabric give the crown enough body to stand upright instead of slouching.
• Twill Weave Fabric — The cloth has a diagonal twill weave, a tight pattern that wears well and resists snagging.
• Multi-Row Stitched Visor — Several rows of stitching run across the short brim to keep it firm and help it hold its curve.
• Side Vent Eyelets — Small color-matched eyelets on each side of the crown let warm air escape.
• Stitched Headband — A fabric band circles the base of the cap and joins at a neat seam at the back.
• No Emblem — The front is left plain, so the cap works with any outfit or uniform setup.
• Olive Drab Color — Olive drab, or OD, is the muted green used on US military gear for decades.

Fabric And Construction

Rothco makes this cap from a 2-ply blend of 55% cotton and 45% polyester. The cotton keeps it comfortable against the head, and the polyester helps it keep its shape through repeated wear. Pinch the eight corners and press a crease into the crown for the traditional peaked look, or leave it softer for casual wear.
