Tiger Stripe Camo Vintage Vietnam Style Boonie Hat

Tiger Stripe Boonie Hat

This Rothco boonie hat brings back the wide-brim jungle hat of the Vietnam War era, printed in tiger stripe camo. A boonie is a soft, round-brimmed field hat that shades the face, ears and neck from every side. It suits hunters, hikers, anglers and reenactors who want the period look on a hat made for real time outdoors. Rothco builds it new as a commercial reproduction, so it is not original government issue.

Features

• 100% Ripstop Cotton — The cotton is woven with a reinforcing grid so a small snag cannot run into a large tear.
• 3-Inch Wide Brim — The brim runs all the way around the crown to shade your face, ears and the back of your neck.
• Stitched Brim — Rows of stitching circle the brim to help it keep its shape after packing and washing.
• Four Screened Vents — Two vents on each side of the crown let heat escape, and their screens help keep bugs out.
• Foliage Loop Band — A black webbing band with sewn loops circles the crown so you can tuck in leaves or branches to break up the hat's outline.
• Adjustable Chin Strap — A cord strap with a sliding toggle tightens under the chin to hold the hat on in wind or on the move.
• Tiger Stripe Camo — Dark horizontal stripes over green, brown and tan recreate a camouflage pattern closely tied to the Vietnam War.
• Built To Government Specs — The hat follows government specifications for the boonie design rather than a looser fashion interpretation.

Build And Sizing

The whole hat is made from 100% ripstop cotton, which breathes well in heat and softens with wear. It comes in four fitted hat sizes: 7, 7 1/4, 7 1/2 and 7 3/4. Choose the size that matches your head measurement, then use the chin strap to fine-tune the fit in the field.
