Q: What is a patrol cap?

{"type":"root","children":[{"type":"paragraph","children":[{"type":"text","value":"A patrol cap is the standard U.S. military utility cap, a structured, low-profile cap with a short brim and a flat or slightly curved top.

Q: What size military cap do I need?

{"type":"root","children":[{"type":"paragraph","children":[{"type":"text","value":"Military caps are available in fitted sizes based on head circumference, or in one-size-fits-most with an adjustable back closure. For fitted caps, measure your head circumference approximately one inch above your ears and match to the size chart on the individual product page. Most adults fall between a size 7 and a size 7 7/8."}]}]}

Q: Can military caps be customized with patches?

{"type":"root","children":[{"type":"paragraph","children":[{"type":"text","value":"Yes. Patrol caps with hook-and-loop front panels accept standard Velcro-backed morale patches and unit identification patches. Our embroidered insignia caps come with branch-specific embroidery already applied. For custom embroidery on plain caps, most local embroidery services can add text or logos to the front panel."}]}]}

Q: What is the difference between a patrol cap and a boonie hat?

{"type":"root","children":[{"type":"paragraph","children":[{"type":"text","value":"A patrol cap has a short front-only brim similar to a baseball cap, providing shade for the face but not the neck or ears. A boonie hat has a wide brim all the way around, providing full sun protection for the face, ears, and neck. Patrol caps are standard for garrison and light field duty. Boonie hats are preferred for extended outdoor operations in direct sunlight."}]}]}

Military Caps & Tactical Hats for Duty & Field Use

A military cap is more than a uniform accessory; it is the most visible piece of headgear in your kit and the first thing people see when you walk into a room. From the structured patrol cap that signals professional discipline to the embroidered insignia cap that shows branch loyalty, every cap in this collection is built with the same attention to construction and detail that military headwear has always demanded. Ripstop cotton, embroidered insignia, and adjustable fit in every style.
