Vintage Red Star Fatigue Cap

Vintage Fatigue Cap

The Rothco Vintage Red Star Fatigue Cap follows the classic military field cap shape: a flat top, straight sides and a short visor. A red star printed on a stitched-on patch sits at the front of the crown, and the visor comes pre-distressed, so the cap looks worn in from the first day. It suits everyday wear, costume and reenactment outfits, or anyone who likes a structured cap instead of a baseball style.

Features

• Red Star Patch — A red five-point star is printed on an olive fabric patch that is stitched to the front of the crown, off to one side.
• Distressed Visor — The brim has frayed edges and worn-through spots applied at the factory to give it a broken-in, vintage look.
• OD Green Color — The cap comes in OD green, short for olive drab, the muted green long used on US military field gear.
• Cotton And Polyester Blend — The fabric combines cotton for a soft hand with polyester for added durability.
• Twill Weave Fabric — A twill weave, with the fine diagonal ribs visible across the surface, gives the cloth a sturdy, textured finish.
• Flat-Top Crown — The flat top and upright sides give the cap the squared profile of a traditional fatigue or patrol cap.
• Stitched Brim — Several rows of parallel stitching run across the short visor to help it keep its shape.
• Wraparound Band — A stitched band circles the base of the crown, with a single seam at the center back.

Fabric And Construction

Rothco builds this cap from a cotton and polyester twill, cut into a flat crown and straight side panels joined at the back. The distressing is limited to the visor and the edges of the star patch, while the crown and band keep a clean, washed-olive finish. It is a commercial reproduction-style cap, not issued military surplus.
