USGI Utility Cap

US Genuine 8-Point Utility Cap, in new and unissued condition (sometimes in original sealed packaging). This is the authentic "cover" designed for professional garrison and field use, primarily by the U.S. Marine Corps.

Distinguished by its iconic eight-pointed "blocked" crown, this cap is constructed from a rugged 50/50 nylon-cotton blend for long-term structural integrity. Designed for a sharp, geometric appearance, it features integrated side ventilation eyelets for breathability and a reinforced, multi-stitched visor, focusing on a precise military silhouette and reliable protection in diverse operational environments.
