Rothco US Made Wool Watch Cap - All-Weather Protection and Classic Style Beanie

AlanUnited States

Made of USA wool, but knitted and sewn in India, exactly as described.

Just as described on page. No evidence of any synthethic wool or blending found. The thread used to sew the top might be cotton or some other textile, but there isn't a sufficient quantity to test wwithout destroying the cap. Fits as it shoulf - nice stretch, can be rolled to set peak height as desired, pulled low over ears and neck to collar level. Like nearly all wool, the texture requires a bit of time to wear in and soften up for total comfort. Things to know - wool requires hand washing only and drying and shaping best done by laying out on a terry cloth towel folded over the cap and pressed as dry as possible by hand. Hot water and electric dryer will shrink and likely ruin your cap. However, if you feel it is too large go ahead and do the hot water and run a hot dry cycle with nothing but the cap in the dryer, and you will probably shrink to a size that will fit! Likewise, if too small wash in cool water, press dry as above, and stretch outward from bottom to top as much as you can, place another towel and some weight to hold shape while drying. Afew rounds of the process with wearing between should soon give you a perfect fit which will be retained. Best fact about this cap is it is warm beyond any other material made, yet still allows moisture (sweat) to evaporate without problems of overheating. Even in wet conditions wool retains the warmth to keep you safe and comfortable. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Wool is awesome!

This is one of the best winter hats I have used. I’m a big believer in the properties of wool, and this is a good one. I have worn this working in sub 20 degree Fahrenheit temps while operating a bucket lift at 40ft in the air on windy days and my head stays warm, which helps keep the rest of my body warm. It also keeps my head at a more comfortable temp in a greater range of temperatures and helps my body regulate temp better.

Great for law enforcement, security or construction workers who work out doors

Perfect watch cap for my outdoor job during the winter time and in the rain. I like the all-weather protection that actually works. Rothco has always been a company I have a lot of faith in and I've never been disappointed yet. I haven't had to wash it yet to see what the aftermath of the wash will be. I'll update when I do.

Bought as a back-up

I bought this originally when I thought I lost my black watch cap but later found it laying in the dock where I worked. Since I bought this one in navy blue I kept it. The material is wool and keeps my head warm in winter months. I have a bald head so I needed this.
