Olive Drab Combat Cap with Flaps

Combat Cap With Ear Flaps

The Rothco Olive Drab Combat Cap with Flaps is a flat-topped, military-style field cap with a fabric flap hidden inside the crown band. On a mild day it wears like a standard patrol cap. When the wind picks up, the flap folds down to cover your ears and the back of your neck. It suits hunters, campers, range regulars and anyone who works outside through the colder months and wants one cap instead of two.

Features

• Fold-Down Ear Flaps — A single flap drops from inside the band and wraps from ear to ear around the back of the head, covering the neck as well.
• Stowed Flap Design — With the flap tucked up, the band sits flush and the cap looks like an ordinary combat cap.
• Cotton And Polyester Blend — Cotton gives the fabric a softer feel, and polyester adds strength and helps the cap hold its color and shape.
• Multi-Row Stitched Visor — Several rows of stitching run across the brim to keep it firm and shade your eyes.
• Flat-Top Crown — The squared crown and wraparound band follow the classic military patrol cap profile.
• Topstitched Seams — Tone-on-tone stitching runs along the crown edge, the band and the vertical panel seams front and back.
• Olive Drab Color — Olive drab, often shortened to OD, is the muted green long used on military field gear, and it pairs easily with surplus and outdoor clothing.
• Rothco Made — A commercial cap from Rothco, a long-running maker of military-style clothing and accessories.

Construction And Fit

The cap is cut from a cotton and polyester blend and built from sewn panels, with the band stitched around the base of the crown so the flap has somewhere to live when it is not in use. The visor is short and stiffened with rows of stitching, which keeps it out of the way under a hood or when shouldering a rifle. With the flap down, the cap gives more coverage than a plain patrol cap without the bulk of a full winter hat.
