Distressed Washed Cadet Cap — Cotton Military Style

    Product form

    $17.99

    Description

    Worn in. Not worn out.

     

    This isn’t a hat that tries to look vintage — it is vintage-washed from the start. Our distressed cadet cap comes with a lived-in softness, frayed brim, and signature red X square stitching that gives each cap its own personality.

     

    Made from 100% enzyme-washed cotton twill (or a 60/40 cotton-poly blend in camo colorways), it’s breathable and comfortable from the first wear. The unstructured soft crown naturally conforms to your head shape, sitting slightly higher for that authentic military-inspired silhouette.

     

    Measurements that matter:

           Circumference: 57 cm (22.4″), adjustable up to 23½″ via Velcro

           Crown height: 2¼″ | Crown width (flat): 8″ | Ear-to-ear: 7″

           Bill: 2¼″ — short brim, clean profile

     

    Pro stitching on the crown and 5 rows of heavy stitching on the visor mean this cap holds up to daily wear without falling apart. The matching fabric undervisor and sweatband add a finished touch you can feel.

     

    Style it your way — as a painters cap, a casual army hat, or your go-to daily driver. Pair it with a flannel, a leather jacket, or just a t-shirt. It works.

     

    Heads up: The distressed details (frayed brim, worn marks) are intentional. The red X stitching is a design feature. “Distressed Black” is a deep washed tone, not jet black.

     

    Care: Hand wash. Air dry. Done.

     

    Add to cart — your next favorite hat is waiting.
