Buzz Rickson’s USN Watch Cap – Navy
Originally issued to U.S. Navy deckhands during WWII, the watch cap became a symbol of endurance against the harsh winds of the North Atlantic. Its short, visorless design allowed sailors to wear binoculars or helmets without obstruction — hence the name “watch cap.”
Buzz Rickson’s faithful reproduction is knitted in Japan from worsted wool, using a dense, period-correct weave that offers exceptional warmth and durability. Finished with the authentic Naval Clothing Depot label, it reflects every detail of the original military specification. A classic piece of naval history—equally at home on deck or in the city.
