Please email us if you want a similar one made.


Designed for USAAF aircraft mechanics in WW2 the A3 was soon adopted by a wide range of USAAF personnel (including flight crews), due to its lightweight, comfortable fitting and stylish 1940's design. We have made some small changes to prevent them being passed off as original!


This reproduction & aged cap has been copied from an original by us. It is made of Olive Drab #3 (OD#3), in 6 panel herringbone twill, heavy stitching and taped cotton seams on the inside just like the originals. There is a makers label on the inside, again copied from an original from a now defunct manufacturer. The rarer USAAF black ink stamp is on the wearers left hand side (blue stamping was most common).


Aged patch to front representing the famous 386th Bomb Group which flew B-26 Marauders for the Eighth and Ninth Air Forces. In October 1944 the Group moved from Great Dunmow, England, to Beaumont-sur-Oise, north of Paris, and on to St. Trond, Belgium in support of the push eastward by ground forces.
