Buzz Rickson Men's U.S. Navy Watch Cap - 100% Wool Military Knit Hat - Made in Japan (BR02243 Navy Blue) One Size Fits Most - accommodates head circumferences approx. 58-62 cm (22.8"-24.4")
Buzz Rickson
This men's casual wool knit cap is made in Japan by Buzz Rickson, a military wear-focused brand under Toyo Enterprises. The brand is renowned for its exceptional vintage reproduction garments, accessories, and meticulous craftsmanship. Part of Buzz Rickson's U.S. Navy collection, this model is a modern reproduction of the iconic U.S. Navy watch cap, originally issued as standard headgear for deck crews exposed to cold sea winds. True to its functional origins, the watch cap was designed without a visor, allowing sailors to perform lookout duties and use binoculars without obstruction. Expertly crafted with the brand's trademark attention to detail, this piece faithfully recreates the distinctive features of the original, capturing the enduring spirit of classic U.S. military heritage. Its timeless character reflects historical authenticity while pairing naturally with today's casual style - bridging vintage aesthetics and modern wearability. The cap is knitted from 100% heavyweight wool in a single-layer rib construction, providing natural insulation without the need for lining. The dense rib-knit structure offers excellent stretch and recovery, allowing the cap to adapt comfortably to various head sizes while retaining its shape over time. The crown is shaped into six sections, with the exterior top knitted in a finer gauge than the lower portion of the hat to create a better fit, while the interior top is reinforced by joining six panels with overlock stitching for added durability and shape retention. The body is deliberately knitted with extra length so the lower section can be folded to create a double-layered cuff, adding additional warmth around the ears and forehead. The fold height can be adjusted freely depending on preference or weather. A "NAVAL CLOTHING" label is stitched directly to the exterior of the cuff, just as on original U.S. Navy models. In authentic military fashion, the label appears upside down when worn, an intentional detail preserved for historical accuracy. This cap comes in one size designed to fit most adult men, accommodating head circumferences from approximately 58 cm to 62 cm (22.8" to 24.4"). This item is a brand-new, original creation from Buzz Rickson, combining vintage military aesthetics with the brand's signature high-quality craftsmanship.
