Patrol Cap
The patrol cap, formerly called the battle dress uniform (BDU) cap, is a visor style with a circular crown and retractable earlaps, which is the same basic design as the M-1951 cotton field cap. It was intended for wear with the temperate battle dress uniform. [1][2][3]
Material
The cap is made of a Quarpel treated, cotton warp and nylon filling oxford cloth, conforming to MIL-C-3924. The lining for the earlaps is olive green shade 108, wool and cotton (later replaced by wool and nylon) flannel, conforming to MIL-C-3760.
