Developed for U.S. Army Air Force ground crews during WWII, the Type A-4 Mechanic Cap protected aircraft mechanics from freezing hangar conditions. Its snug six-panel construction ensured a secure fit under helmets and headsets while offering warmth without bulk. Buzz Rickson’s accurately recreates this piece in Japan using worsted wool and vintage knitting machinery, achieving the dense texture and resilience of the originals. Finished with a mil-spec woven label, this reproduction mirrors the caps also worn by elite paratroopers—immortalized in Band of Brothers. A timeless blend of authenticity and function, built for today’s winter days.
