WW2 US Army Named Officer’s Doeskin Peak Cap Hat Size 7 1/8

This World War II U.S. Army officer’s service cap is a Doeskin model featuring a peak visor, identified as Size 7 1/8. The cap is named, denoting its original assignment to a specific officer, which may offer further research opportunities related to individual service history. Constructed from fine doeskin wool in standard olive drab, the cap is designed for formal and service wear as regulation headgear for commissioned officers during the period of the Second World War. The cap includes the appropriate reinforced brown leather visor, and typically features an adjustable interior leather sweatband for improved fit, along with ventilation grommets on the sides. The front bears the standard officer’s eagle insignia in metal above the visor, in keeping with mid-20th-century U.S. Army uniform regulations. Such headgear was a required element of the Army officer’s dress, symbolizing rank and branch affiliation, and is notable for its association with wartime service.
