Our modern, updated, and upgraded take on the classic USN Issue Watch Cap. Expertly knit in California, USA from "A Grade" easy care, merino wool. PLS NOTE that this version fits smaller than our standard model and best for hat sizes 6.75 - 7.5. Available in Dark Gray Marl. #agwatchcap
Our watch caps are directly inspired from this style of cold weather headwear issued to USN Sailors, Seabees, Merchant Marines and other service members during WWII, and in the decades to follow. The PDW A.G. Watch Cap is made in a premium grade, soft, machine wash & dry, 100% merino sourced from a leading EU based supplier. Unlike other knit beanies being made in the USA today, which are simply tubes sewn closed at one end. Ours are a true fully shaped and knitted process produced on state of the art, computer controlled knitting machines based in California. While the original USN issue stands on its own we created our updated and upgraded interpretation, that is a highly versatile 2+ season weight, superior comfort, easy care, and possess that timeless, and classic appearance. The A.G. Watch Cap is the high standard in American made beanies and will be a goto staple in anyone's wardrobe during cooler to cold months.
My son loves your caps. He put it in the dryer by mistake, was in a hurry t o get another one. Going to the mountains and has to have one!

I really like these, I have just purchased the black, grey and red variants. I always kicked myself for not getting the striped ones you had two years ago. Comfortable and warm, with no itch.

Finally warm enough for a bald guy!
I’ve loved the normal watch caps put out over the years by PDW and others in the past but as a guy with no extra insulation on the top of my head, they’ve never been warm enough to be my go to hat in the winter. The Heavy Weight model delivers the heat though! This is now my daily beanie I grab as the temps dip below 30 degrees and it keeps me warm and happy all day long in the cold!
Thanks for upping the heat on this design, I’m pretty sure I’ll buy another one next fall after I wear this one out this year.
