Genuine Government Issue Wool Watch Cap

Very nice hat. Warm and looks good though I found it made my head itchy. Trying a couple of remedies to reduce the itch.

bought two of these to keep the ears warm this winter and they are great. Service is great too.

Not my first order. Ordered again because I appreciated the previous order. Also appreciate that it's made in the USA!

Lightweight and warm, not too bulky, perfect for chilly San Francisco winter (and summer) nights

Made in the USA description attracted me to purchasing this hat. The quality is superb! Great color, warmth and fit.
Would purchase again.

I have had the pleasure of wearing an old school Navy watch cap. It was my dads from the early 60's. These new hats are 1/2 as thick and just don't compare to the older government issue. The wind blows right through these hats. Disappointed they are not nearly as warm as I expected.

The quality of this genuine wool watch cap is double knit heavy wool and the warmest watch cap I've ever owned. Would definitely buy it again.

Good, warm, simple hat. Really like it. If you're susceptible to the itchiness of wool, this hat is probably not for you.

Very amused that the hat is made to DOD specifications.

What can I say? We bought 18 of these hats and they were the Christmas hit with our extended family.

Thanks.

It's wool so... very warm, but itchy if you are bald! And it will shrink some.

A tightly knit, well made, heavy wool, quality watch cap for fifteen bucks. That says it all … fantastic! It'll be a great friend on those cold winter days. Very highly recommended!

Love it. Exactly like you'd expect: warn, rugged, simple, made in USA.

Shipped fast. Great product. Keep me warm 100% wool beanie. I bought one. I then bought 2 more!

I bought this hat to replace a great wool hat from a Fannueil Hal vendor that I lost on the subway. This one is as warm as my old hat, but it is scratchy and not as soft. I have since bought a cashmere knit hat for not much more. It's a shame because this hat would be great if someone cared enough to make it from a softer less scratchy yarn. My lost wool hat cost the same as this one.

This is the best watch cap I've ever seen! I should have ordered a couple. It is for cool to cold weather — very useful. Too light for 'arctic' conditions.

First off, let me just state that I love this hat, and if you are in the market for serious gear, this one is a go! I live in Michigan, and we have been experiencing too many days of tundra-like climate to go without head protection. Thus, I wanted something that was made of 100% wool, as opposed to cheap acrylic. Something that actually keeps my head warm in negative degree conditions (without looking ridiculous). This hat hits both form and function notes and is far less expensive than pretty much all of the other options out there, the vast majority of which are blends or don't contain any wool at all. I 100% recommend this for those that need a high-quality, durable, and seriously warm hat. It might be too hot if you live in more temperate areas, though - so keep that in mind if you are considering it.

This is just what we wanted: a good, warm wool hat. Fits my husband perfectly. We are buying 2 more.

This is a very nice wool cap, I don't think it will win awards for style, but for softness and quality it is awesome. It is very thick. High quality wool.

The perfect hat just what I was looking for and very happy to have found them! Thank you soo Much! This wool beanie are the genuine Government issue watch cap. Made in the USA. Their even moth proof! Yes my husband loves them!

Nice thick wool should be very warm.

Absolutely love the wool caps, but they are very course, and leave the course pattern on your forehead. Need to be less course. Other than that, the hats fit very snug and keeps my head nice -n- warm on those cold mornings. I bought the navy blue and black.

military 'watch' pull over cap- harder and harder to find without going cashmere and $125.00 or more- simple affordable and utilitarian as can be . thanx

Great winter hat. It can get a wet from rain or snow and keep still keep you warm.

I wear a 7 1/2 and it fits kinda snug. I hoped it would be a bit thicker wool, too, but for under $10 I guess I got my money's worth. It's better than the last knit hat I tried. Since I ordered two, maybe I could wear them both, together . . .

These government issue watch caps are superior to any other similar products. The knit is tight and gives an elastic quality to the hat that keeps it in place as you ski, sail, or otherwise stay active. Can't be beat.

My husband had been looking for the perfect winter cap and I found it! I purchased the Black Watch for him as a gift for Christmas. It has been quite cold and he wears the hat everyday. He said he likes the fit and it keeps his head warm. Great hat and happy husband, perfect together.

Excellent cap for the money.Real wool, well made.Easy to order. Bought one of each color.Great for hiking.

Warm, soft, well made, best price: completely satisfied.

This is the quintessential wool watch cap. It fits all sizes and keeps you warm in the worst weather. And it's made in the USA to exacting military specs. At $10 there is no better value! I bought 3 of them.

Got my first one in the Air Force back in the '70s. Always kept my head warm, whether wintering in the California or Fairbanks, AK. Find a colr & size and stay toasty!

My son is in ROTC and I ordered two Black Watch Caps for him.He said that they are the best caps and they keep his head really warm.He is very satisfied with it!

My husband and I both purchased this hat! We will be wearing to our trip to Europe in April. It has been cold at home and we have already worn them many times! Very warm and it does not slip up over your ears while you wear it. I hate small hats that do that!! This one keeps your ears nice and toasty.

I bought this cap to replace an existing one, however the existing one is far much better. The old one is a softer wool fabric. The cap here is too coarse. It's cheap. It is not a real ""gov't issued cap"". I bought a real one several years ago that cost me about twenty dollars.

He won't wear hats or caps, even in cold weather. Don't ask me why. I think it's a side effect of testosterone. But I remembered that years ago he had a watch cap he liked. I googled and found this one. Now my hubby goes out with a warm head. It really is very good quality and the price is good, too.

All wool which is very hard to find now. I wanted to replace the one I had in the Army. This is just as well made and maybe better.

I purchased 2 Watch Caps. One I returned the day I received it because it had 3 holes in it. I wish I had returned the 2nd cap because after a few days I noticed their was a substantial area. on the inside of the cap, where the thread was either not completed or pulled apart or something, leaving a gap in the thread of the 2nd cap. So far it has not gotten any worse and I do wear the cap. Maybe that is what you expect for $10 but I was hoping for more. I will say the cap is warm, fits and looks fine and, if were not for the defects, I would give this item a 5 star rating. In the meantime, until I see how the return and replacement policy works, I can only give this item 3 stars and if I don't receive a suitable replacement, that is generous. We'll see how the replacement hat is and how the one I kept, not realizing it also was defective, holds up. If things work out I will rewrite this review and give a higher rating.

My beanie came in the mail today. It's a very nice product and exactly as advertised. Just trying it on I noticed it's warmer than the cheap polyester beanie it's replacing. My one minor quibble is I could have used it a little bigger. It stretches so I can wear it but it's just a little bit tighter than I would have liked. This is not a fault of the hat but me. I'm a big guy and anything sized for ""most"" is likely to be too small for me. Good service and a good product accurately represented. I can't ask for more than that.

I have never purchased any Government Issue items that DID NOT have Military tags of some sort inside of them. The tag sewn into this hat is a Village Hat Shop tag. The only thing as advertised about this hat is it's 100% wool.

This hat is effectively warm and well-fitting.

The hat was great, my husband wanted that type of hat to keep his ears warm. Thank you for the great service.

i forgot they were all wool, washed in warm water and dried in the dryer. they are half the original size now. never did get to wear them. oh well...

war and good looking at a great price. a classic.

Exactly what we wanted and the best price on the net.

Great hat - does the job and looks the way it should.

Bought this hat for my friend cause he works out in the cold and he really liked it and said it was very, very, warm. Thank you!

nice wooly for the price - well made and warm. A bit lightweight for really cold weather (like windy below zero). Would appreciate the same hat with 30% more wool - certainly would be worth another $5. I got three two years ago and have only worn 1 so far - its holding up great - I wear it almost every day Oct - March for out side work in Wisconsin

I ordered three of these, one in each color, for my husband for Christmas. They arrived within a couple of days. We're pleased with these hats and know that they'll be very warm since they're made of 100% wool. Another reason that I chose them is that they are made in the USA.

The ordering process was easy; I felt my cc information was secure. The package arrived in a timely manner. The watch cap is of very good quality wool. I bought it for my husband for Christmas. 'One size fits all' doesn't fit his head too well - it looks a bit small and tight. In speaking with military veterans about their recollections of the government issue watch cap, they said it was supposed to be a bit tight. So it's perfect.
