Tactical Gear Junkie Operator Hat - Black

Black Operator Hat

The Tactical Gear Junkie Operator Hat is a black cotton ball cap with a patch panel built into the front. It suits range days, outdoor work and everyday wear, and the front panel means you can switch your unit, flag or morale patch as often as you like. The plain black finish works with uniform-style kit and with casual clothes.

Features

• Front Loop Patch Panel — A rectangle of loop material on the front takes any hook-backed patch, the fuzzy half of a hook-and-loop (Velcro-style) fastener.
• Cotton Ripstop Fabric — The cotton is woven with a reinforcing grid so a small snag or tear cannot spread across the panel.
• Black Colorway — Solid black throughout, including the patch panel, so it matches dark uniforms and gear.
• Stitched Ventilation Eyelets — Small embroidered eyelets in the crown panels let heat escape on warm days.
• Pre-Curved Brim — The brim comes shaped and is reinforced with several rows of parallel stitching to help it hold that curve.
• Topstitched Panel Seams — Each crown seam is double-stitched for a clean finish and extra strength along the joins.
• Classic Ball Cap Profile — The familiar baseball-cap shape sits comfortably under hearing protection and pairs with sunglasses.

Fabric And Build

The Operator Hat is cut from cotton in a ripstop weave, which keeps the cap breathable and comfortable while resisting the small tears that come from brush, gear straps and daily handling. The loop panel is sewn directly to the front of the crown, so patches sit flat and stay put. Patches are not included, which leaves the front free for whichever insignia you choose.
