1944 USN Watch Cap - Black

The 1944 USN Watch Cap from Pike Brothers is a classic knitted hat inspired by the headwear worn by U.S. Navy crew during World War II. The cap is based on an original piece from Pike Brothers' archives and follows the same specifications as historical models from the 1940s.

The watch cap was standard headwear for sailors at sea, and its simple construction of sturdy wool made it ideal for cold and windy weather. The cap could be folded up once or twice to adjust the fit and protect the ears from the cold. Its compact form also made it easy to wear under a helmet or hood.

This reproduction is knitted from 100% merino wool, a material that provides excellent insulation while also being breathable. The result is a warm, durable, and timeless cap that works equally well for everyday wear as it does with classic workwear items.

For many who appreciate heritage style and military-inspired clothing, the watch cap is a natural accessory for selvedge jeans, denim jackets, and workwear.
