This classic cap, worn by USAAF (US Air Force / American Air Force) pilots in Europe and the Pacific.
In fact, this hat was part of the US Air Force's standard uniform and was worn by pilots and non-pilots alike.
Basically, this cap had buttresses which allowed it to be better supported but also avoided any deformation linked to the outline which had to remain very clean/rigid, thanks to this system it could keep its initial shape specific to military specifications.
However, as soon as Bombardier pilots wore headphones under their caps, they removed the stiff band inside to provide more comfort, which naturally caused the edges to sag.

Their look changed and the cap became softer and looser, giving them the appearance of "more experienced" soldiers at ease in their costume of assertive fighters.
This military headgear therefore remains the symbol of their passion as much as the leather Flight Jacket "Leather aviator jacket"
Wearing these caps, you will feel like you are living 50 missions from yesteryear without the drawbacks, just fun!
Olive-colored caps were worn with winter uniforms and were most often used during European missions, while khaki caps were worn in summer and conversely, were most often associated with battles in the Pacific.
It consists of a leather visor, a strap that goes under the chin, fastened with gold buttons and the American military emblem "Pluribus Unum: E pluribus unum is the motto that appears on the Great Seal of the United States of America.
This seal is used as the de facto emblem of the United States, appearing notably on official documents such as passports. It also appears on the seals of the President, Vice President, Congress, and the Supreme Court (which are very close to the Great Seal).
E pluribus unum can be translated as “One from many” or, in a more direct translation, “From many, one.” This motto, which initially referred to the integration of the 13 independent colonies into a unified country, then took on an additional socio-political meaning, due to the pluralistic nature of American society, which arose from immigration. »
Of course, we recommend you to wear this cap with the A2 bomber jacket, your Vintage WWII look will captivate your friends.
