Buzz Rickson's Men's Watch Cap Cotton Version, World War II U.S. Military-Inspired 100% Cotton Rib-Knit Cap, Made in Japan (BR02186)
Buzz Rickson
Available Colors
This men's cotton knit cap is made in Japan by Buzz Rickson's, Toyo Enterprises' military label specializing in vintage American military-inspired clothing and accessories. This model is a Buzz Rickson's original design based on the construction and styling of wool watch caps adopted by the U.S. Army and U.S. Navy during World War II, with the traditional wool construction reinterpreted in 100% cotton. Its design combines a stretch rib-knit body, a fold-up lower section, a visorless profile, a shaped six-section crown, and a Buzz Rickson's military-style cloth label. Combining vintage military-inspired character with the practical everyday wearability of cotton, the cap offers a distinctive yet versatile addition to a contemporary casual wardrobe.
Size and Fit Guide:
Gender: Men.
Tagged Size: ONE SIZE.
The rib-knit construction stretches horizontally so that the cap can expand around the head. As a general wearing guide, it is intended for head circumferences of approximately 58cm to 62cm, or approximately 22.8" to 24.4". This range refers to the wearer's approximate head circumference and is not the unstretched circumference of the cap itself.
The cap measures approximately 27cm, or 10.6", deep when the lower section is fully unfolded. Because the cap is normally worn with the lower portion folded outward, the actual worn depth changes according to the width of the fold. The amount of ear coverage can also be adjusted by changing the fold height.
Because this is a knitted product, fit may vary depending on head shape, the amount of stretch in the individual cap, the width of the folded section, and personal preference. The approximate 58cm to 62cm head-circumference range should therefore be used as a general guide rather than a guaranteed fit specification.

100% Cotton Rib-Knit Construction
The cap is made from 100% cotton rib knit. Unlike the wool commonly used for original military watch caps, this version replaces the wool with cotton, making it easier to incorporate into everyday wear across a broader range of seasons. The rib structure forms vertical knitted ridges across the surface while providing horizontal stretch, allowing the cap to conform to the shape of the head. No separate lining or other interior material is used; the cap is constructed entirely from the knitted body itself.
Fold-Up Lower Section
The body is knitted with sufficient vertical length for the lower portion to be folded outward during wear. The main body is a single layer of knit fabric, while the folded section becomes double-layered, adding material thickness around the forehead and ears. Adjusting the height of the fold also changes the overall worn depth of the cap and the amount of coverage around the ears. This fold-up construction is characteristic of the practical military-derived watch-cap design.
Six-Section Shaped Crown
As the rib-knit body approaches the crown, the knit construction changes and the upper portion is shaped into six section-like areas. The boundaries between these sections are joined by stitching from the inside.
Six joining lines converge radially toward a single point at the top center, shaping the knitted body into a rounded, three-dimensional dome that follows the contour of the head.
Finished Lower Knit Edge
The bottom edge of the cap is finished differently from the main rib-knit body, providing a stabilized finish at the lower edge of the knit.
Buzz Rickson's Military-Style Cloth Label
A Buzz Rickson's original cloth label is sewn onto the folded section of the cap. Printed wording includes "MFG BUZZ RICKSON," "KNITTING MILLS, INC.," "PHILA. QUARTERMASTER DEPOT," "CONTRACT NO.," "DATED," and "SPEC NO."
This is not a reproduction of the U.S. Navy "NAVAL CLOTHING DEPOT" label itself. Instead, it is a military-style detail unique to this model, combining the Buzz Rickson's brand name with Quartermaster Depot-inspired wording.
World War II U.S. Military-Inspired Cotton Watch Cap
This model takes its design source from the wool knit caps used by the U.S. Army and U.S. Navy during World War II and reinterprets their military-derived construction in cotton as a Buzz Rickson's original model. While retaining the functional structural characteristics of the original military style, the use of cotton makes the cap easier to incorporate into everyday wear across a broader range of seasons.
