USMC Utility Eight-Point Cap . HU1198

United States Marine Corps (USMC) Utility Cap. Two vent holes on each side, however, one of the metal grommets are missing. Appears to be in-country custom made cap out of some type or rain protection material. 8-Point utility cap. Lightly named on interior edge of cap. No size tag that I could find, however, appears to measure about a US size 6 5/8. Most likely 1950s-1960s era. Worn and used condition.

Additional Notes: The utility cover, also known as the utility cap and eight-pointed cover, is the United States Marine Corps cap, worn with their combat utility uniform. It is an eight-pointed hat, with a visor similar to the US Army baseball style cap. It is worn “blocked”, that is, creased and peaked, for a sharper appearance. A version is also worn as part of the US Navy’s Navy Working Uniform.
