This watch cap is made in Japan and produced by Buzz Rickson ( Buzz Ricksons Buzz Rickson's ) from Toyo Enterprises. This knitted cap pays homage to the iconic US military A-4 knitted hat. This hat was issued initially to USAAF ground crews before becoming popular with air crews, airborne infantry and naval forces. The pattern construction of this cap is inspired from the WW2 US A4 Mechanics hat (United States Army Air Forces USAAF Cap, Mechanics, Winter, Type A-4), but this cap is outfitted with the original details of Buzz Rickson's brand in a contemporary approach. With the inspiration from classic US military WW2 A-4 air force ground crew chilling hat, this hat has been re-designed with painted stencil for a more casual look and fashion purpose. This cap is made of unlined 100% wool knit fabric. And this cap features a fold-up brim for double layering at the ears. Also this wool knit hat is decorated with the painted stencil. The painted stencil on this beanie hat is based on the Airmens Mosquito Club. The beauty of this piece is the balance of classic construction and modern updates from Buzz Rickson.
