Nice Cap for the Money
(2011-01-11)
I like this cap. The wool is not too thick, but it is warm, fits nice, and looks good. What else is there?
O.D. Wool knit "Jeep" Cap

Overall, (in my opinion) - compares well with (1) of my original(s).
The color, knit weave/ texture & construction are excellent (many other copies I've seen over the years are 'overdone' or just plain wrong (too thick/ dense/ incorrect knit wrong style construction, etc...) - the WPG version doesn't make the common mistakes. I didn't cut/ seperate the visor knit (but it 'feels' like fiberboard). My only 'issue' - the crown seems a bit high/ deep (probably sized for longer foreheads).
Overall, this might fool many as 'original'. I don't "re-enact", so can't comment on "living history" use . (I am also not a forum "expert" - just a 20+ year Military Collector.
If you can't find/ afford the originals or simply need an additional for display - this copy is the next best thing !
