This is a custom-made headwear accessory for a toy minifigure, designed to represent a United States Army olive drab service cap from the World War II era.
The accessory is a peaked cap (also known as a visor cap) in a solid olive drab green color. It accurately captures the shape of the service cap worn by both enlisted soldiers and officers, featuring a high front, a flat circular top, and a stiff visor.
Historical Background: This olive drab cap was a key component of the iconic American Class “A” service uniform, famously known as the “Pinks and Greens.” This uniform consisted of an olive drab tunic (like this cap) and contrasting light tan or “pinkish” trousers. It was the standard “garrison” or dress uniform worn by U.S. Army personnel when not in combat. The cap is also famously associated with the “crusher” cap variation favored by pilots in the Army Air Forces, who would remove the stiffener to give it a more worn, crushed appearance. This accessory is a quintessential piece of headwear representing the American G.I. and officer of World War II.
