Description
This WW2 US Olive Drab Watch Cap is perfect for those cold re-enactment days, when you can feel the redness of your ears or the goosebumps on the back of your neck. The thick knitted wool will keep your head warm during these harsh conditions – then dark green helps you blend in with the surroundings. What makes this hat ideal for re-enactment or even adding to your collection, is the fold as it allows you to protect your ears and neck from harsh conditions.
Historically, these ‘watch’ caps were issued initially to the USAAF ground crews before becoming popular with air crews, infantry and naval forces alike.
Please note: These hats are quite tight upon initial receipt but they do loosen up after use.
