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

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

Love it. Just like the ones my dad wore when I was a kid. Quality made. Warm. Soft. Fits great.

Cap is well made, warm and seems material is durable.

This wool cap is a steal for the price, it’s warm even when it’s wet and it’s cheap. However, it didn’t quite stretch out as much as I’d like it too( I have a big head I guess) and it’s extremely uncomfortable for the first couple of wears. It’s wool of course so that’s to be expected. If you and a wool cap that won’t break the bank, this is it!

I liked it so much I bought the green one as well. It's very warm and fits my big, bald head well. For the price I can't imagine finding something better made from wool. It's a little itchy at first but after a wash it got better. Don't put it in the dryer though. I wanted a basic but warm beanie and that's what I got.

Fantastic knit cap. Very warm.

Rothco and DoD tags were perfect. Material did not feel like my other DoD issue "100% Wool Watch Caps". Tested a loose thread, GI's call them "cables", using a lit match. Wool turns to ash, acrylic, because it is plastic, melts. The thread quickly transformed into a hard shiny lump. Busted!!! Rothco makes great stuff and I have/had lots of GI 100% wool watch caps. This is not their product. Check similar complaints.

Not as warm as an issued watch cap it a good cap at the price listed.
