WWII USAAF A-4 Watch Cap - Olive
Reproduced WWII air force ground crew chilling hat, Type A-4, early wool version. High wool content ensures warmth. We intend to rival Japan's replication level, similar to McCoy's, to reproduce the 1940s version completely.

Just took that photo to show some nice surface patina. That skin is thick and heavy with loads of potential for character... only getting better, that's what you get with artisanship of that level!
