USGI Wool Watch Cap - Olive Drab

USGI Wool Watch Cap

A watch cap is the close-fitting, brimless knit cap that has kept soldiers and sailors warm for generations, and this Rothco version follows that pattern. It is knit from 100% wool in olive drab and made to U.S. Department of Defense specifications. USGI stands for U.S. Government Issue, and that is the standard this cap is built to. Wear it on cold-weather hunts, on winter range days, under a hood, or on the job when the temperature drops.

Features

• 100% Wool Knit — Wool holds warmth even when it gets wet, which is why the military has relied on it for cold-weather headwear.
• Built To DoD Specifications — The cap is made to the Department of Defense's published standard rather than a loose commercial copy of the issue design.
• Made In The USA — Rothco produces this watch cap domestically.
• Ribbed Construction — The vertical rib knit stretches to fit closely around the head and recovers its shape.
• Cuffed Or Uncuffed Wear — Fold the brim up for a double layer over the ears and forehead, or pull it down for full coverage.
• 12.5-Inch Uncuffed Length — Laid flat and uncuffed, the cap measures 12.5 inches (32 cm) from end to end.
• One Size Fits Most — The stretch of the knit adapts to most adult head sizes.
• Olive Drab Color — The traditional U.S. military green matches issue-style field gear and outerwear.
• Hard-Wearing Fiber — The wool resists damage from sunlight, laundering, and perspiration, so the cap holds up to regular use.

Fit and Construction

The cap is a plain, unlined rib knit with no logos or brim, so it sits low and flat enough to wear under a helmet, hood, or hearing protection. Worn uncuffed it covers the ears fully. With the cuff turned up it sits higher and puts two layers of wool over the forehead. It is light enough to stuff in a pocket or pack when you don't need it.
