Buzz Rickson's 'Elmendorf' A-4 Knit Cap - Olive

1 / 3

Field Notes

This brilliant cold weather watch cap has been masterfully crafted by Buzz Rickson’s, from a warm and dense worsted wool. The A-4 cap was issued to aircraft mechanics during WWII when the weather dropped too cold for the standard issue A-3 mechanics cap. One size fits all with this model and can be worn with a single or double roll. The dense knit allows the shape to stay in place brilliantly, while the brand have added a heritage stencil which reads, ‘Elmendorf AFB. AK’.
