This World War II-era U.S. Navy white hat originated in the 1880s when white canvas hats with a similar structure first appeared. Its original purpose was to protect the head from hot, intense sunlight. Normally, the brim is turned up, but it can be turned down to protect the ears if necessary. Over the years, the cap became as much of a tradition as the sailors' spring and summer white cotton uniforms, autumn and winter blue wool uniforms, and everyday denim.
The white caps are for soldiers below the sergeant level. When worn, the upturned brim takes on the shape of a cup. This feature has earned it the nickname Dixie Cup (because of the small disposable paper cup of the same name).
Size:
7 1/2: fit 21.5-22.4"/ 55-57cm
7 3/4: fit 22.4-23.2"/ 57-59cm
8: fit 23.2-24"/ 59-61cm
In order to best determine fit, it may be helpful to compare our garment’s measurements to a similar garment you already own. Lay your garment on a flat surface and take all measurements from the outside of the garment.

Decent . Gotta know how to wear it

I love this damn hat so much. I get so many compliments on it. Older people love seeing it because its so nostalgic to them. Me and this hat are so tight, you'd have to pry it from my dead hands at this point. Its not costume or cheap looking either. Its really nice quality and made out of canvas. The stitching around the brim keeps it standing up very nicely. Its also very cute with everyday clothes!!! Love 'er!

A very solid hat. I would encourage you to size one up though. I got one in each colour.

Отличный головной убор. Материал плотный, держит форму. Абсолютная реплика флотской панамы времён WWII.

Love this hat. It comes flat but is malleable so you can shape it how you want. I got size 7 3/4. Took 2 weeks to come but that’s good delivery time from China. Would recommend

I like it but I wish it had been pre-washed. It's harder to figure out exactly the right size when you know it's going to shrink. Pre-washing it to an accurate size would have been ideal for me. That said, it seems to be working out.

Cute sailor hat! I know it is meant for men, but as a woman this is such a trendy and stylish piece. I wear it with the brim flipped up. My head is 22.5 inches and I bought size 7 3/4, and it's slightly loose, I might have been able to size down.

Dear Bronson, So Far everything I’ve ordered from you has been excellent quality kit, I’ve been very pleased with the service you have provided, Unfortunately I’ve experienced a NON delivered item from you supposed site through AliExpress; (Can’t attach transaction image on this site) HBT 41 usmc shirt from Bronson. This might have been a scam on AliExpress but I’ve not had any success in my query. Don’t believe it is you but you might want to know. Regards Rene Ko

A little small, even for 7 3/4. Guess I’ll be ordering an 8 now.

I've found original WWI - WWII era sailor's caps, but even if in great condition, they show their age. Needing one for wear with my US Navy uniforms for "living history" that looks newer and clean, all I could find are current-issue or other types, that are constructed differently. Bronson created an accurate type, in both material and construction, and saved the day.

Had one when I was little! Great for the summer, can't wait! Great memories - my uncle gave me his from the war.

Okay Item, wasn't worth the Seven week wait for it to get to the UK.
Kevan H. 4/5 Verified
I wondered how good this cap could be considering the price seemed pretty high. It's worth every penny. The craftsmanship and quality of materials far surpasses anything else I'd found. If you just want a Dixie-Cup style cap to wear as a joke you can buy a cheap one. If you want something that's as good or better than the real thing, you won't be disappointed with this cap from Bronson.
