Military-style BDU field cap made of ripstop cotton fabric by Mil-Tec. Ventilation holes on the sides.
The US BDU (Battle Dress Uniform) field cap is a part of the combat uniform of the United States Armed Forces. The BDU uniform was introduced in the early 1980s and was in standard use until the early 2000s, when it was gradually replaced by newer uniform types, such as the ACU (Army Combat Uniform) and MARPAT (Marine Pattern). The BDU uniform, including the field cap, was originally designed to provide soldiers with a durable and functional outfit that would be suitable for a variety of environments and terrain conditions.
Although the BDU uniform and its accompanying field cap have been officially replaced in the United States Armed Forces, it remains popular among many soldiers, reservists, airsoft enthusiasts, and outdoor enthusiasts. Its durability, comfort, and versatility continue to make it an attractive choice for a variety of purposes.
