WW2 US Army Infantry Officer’s Garrison Cap Size 7 1/8

The WW2 US Army Infantry Officer’s Garrison Cap, Size 7 1/8, is an example of the standard headgear worn by officers in the United States Army during the Second World War. This side cap is constructed from olive drab wool, designed for practical use and easy storage when not in wear. The cap features a blue-white piping along the crown and curtain, indicating Infantry branch affiliation, as was the official practice at the time. There is an internal leather sweatband for comfort and size stability, and the manufacturer’s size tag denotes a 7 1/8 fitting. These caps were commonly issued to officers for use in garrison and non-combat settings, reflecting both period military uniform regulations and material standards. The design of the garrison cap allowed for uniformity and ease of identification among Army ranks and functional distinction between officer and enlisted personnel.
