A.G. Watch Cap - Stone Gray

$ 43.00
  • Overview
    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.

    Great Hat

    PDW quality is obvious once you open the bag, from the soft wool fabric they use to the stitching, and enough material to actually make a substantial “fold” around your hat. Most companies you’re lucky if you get a 2” fold, but PDW gives a generous amount of material making it easy for those of us who do have large heads (I wear a 7.5 hat). I’d recommend one of the PDW hats to anyone looking to add to their cap collection!!

    Best cold weather cover

    I’ve had a bunch of smartwool and other brands of merino head gear and this is pure Goldilocks…..just right. Snug enough to stay on but not so tight it makes your ears hurt. Warm but never hot. And strikes that PDW balance between looking subtly tactical (without being overtly militaristic) and being adventure functional (without looking like Elmer Fudd). Smart without attracting attention.

    Great hat

    Extremely comfortable and very warm hat in the tradition of a true Navy Watch Cap with a nice large fold

    Light and super warm

    My new go-to. Light and thin enough to fold and keep in a coat pocket.

    Little disappointed

    Previously purchased brown watch cap and loved it but the gray feels lighter weight and doesn’t fit as tight seems much cheaper

    Hi Ricky, our knitting machines are very precise and computer controlled.They feed and speed of yarns are the same no matter the color. However, yarns can actually feel different by, even if they are the same gauge and ply, the the color dyes used.
