Custom Piece Miniature – United States Navy enlisted sailor’s white hat dixie cup – 3D Print for LEGO minifigure

This is a custom-made headwear accessory for a toy minifigure, designed to represent the iconic United States Navy enlisted sailor’s white hat, which is famously nicknamed the “dixie cup.”

The accessory is all-white and accurately captures the unique shape of this famous hat: a round, brimless cap with a stiff, upturned brim all the way around.

Historical Background: The “dixie cup” is one of the most recognizable pieces of military headwear in the world. It has been a component of the U.S. Navy’s enlisted uniform for well over a century. The hat earned its nickname due to its strong resemblance to the disposable paper cup brand of the same name. It is worn with various service and dress uniforms, including the famous “Crackerjack” dress blues. The dixie cup is an enduring symbol of the American sailor, particularly associated with the sailors who served in World War II, and it continues to represent a long and proud naval tradition.
