This is a custom-made headwear accessory for a toy minifigure, designed to represent a United States Navy officer’s white service cap from the World War II era.
The accessory is an all-white peaked cap (also known as a combination cap or visor cap). It accurately captures the distinctive look of the naval officer’s cap, with its soft, high crown, cap band, and front visor.
Historical Background: The white service cap was an iconic part of the U.S. Navy officer’s uniform, worn with the Service Dress White (“Chokers”) and Tropical White uniforms throughout the Pacific and Atlantic theaters. A famous variation, particularly among veteran officers in the submarine service and naval aviation, was the “crusher” cap. These officers would often remove the stiffening wire grommet from inside the crown, allowing the cap to be worn comfortably under headsets and giving it a soft, worn-in, or “crushed” appearance. This look became an unofficial but highly prized symbol of a seasoned, frontline naval officer. This accessory is a quintessential piece of headwear representing the U.S. Navy officer of World War II.
