This is an olive green knit cap with a short visor made of knitted yarn. The \"jeep cap\" was first issued by the US Army in February 1942 during WW2. The purpose of the jeep cap was to be worn underneath the heavy combat helmets to offer soldiers both extra padding and warmth. The jeep cap was originally knitted close to the head, with a six-stitch \"starfish pattern\" on top. This was supposedly to support the webbing suspension inside the helmets. There is a cuff coming out like a V from the top center of the brim and around the rest of the cap, which soldiers could pull down over their ears for even more warmth. They came in three sizes, with this looking to be a small or medium. This is excellent, and a scarce find. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Ruptured Duck, LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51698110759218,"sku":"HG-209","price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1141\/9332\/files\/WW2_US_Army_M1941_Jeep_Cap_0491.jpg?v=1788357814","url":"https:\/\/www.therupturedduck.com\/products\/us-wwii-model-1941-jeep-cap","provider":"The Ruptured Duck, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
