WW2 US USAAF Tropical Garrison Cap Size 7

The WW2 US USAAF Tropical Garrison Cap, Size 7, is an original uniform accessory worn by personnel of the United States Army Air Forces during World War II. Designed for use in warmer climates, the tropical garrison cap is constructed from lightweight khaki cotton fabric, providing comfort and breathability in hot and humid conditions. The cap features a fold-over design with a soft crown and a flat top, commonly referred to as an “overseas cap.” It includes brown piping along the edge, signifying Air Corps (USAAF) affiliation during the period. Size 7 refers to the internal hat measurement, suitable for a head circumference of approximately 22 inches (56 cm). These caps were standard issue for both enlisted men and officers in the tropical theaters, including the Pacific and Mediterranean campaigns. The design allowed for easy storage and transport, fitting neatly into uniform pockets when not in use.
