Distressed Washed Cadet Cap Cotton Military Style

    $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. 


    Add to cart, your next favorite hat is waiting.
