FAQ
What styles of US Navy hats are available beyond the standard baseball cap?
The collection goes well beyond traditional ball caps. You can find low-profile structured caps, mesh-back caps for breathability, and designs specific to Navy veterans, retirees, Vietnam-era service members, and Navy Seabees. There are also styles honoring specific mottos and insignia such as the Eagle Globe and Anchor emblem, giving you plenty of options depending on the occasion or the person you are shopping for.
What is the official hat worn by US Navy sailors called?
The most recognized Navy hat is the white "dixie cup" cover, the round brimless cap associated with enlisted Navy sailors in dress uniform. For working uniforms, Navy personnel also wear 8-point utility covers. The ball caps and veteran caps sold at Army Surplus World are worn off-duty or as a way for veterans and supporters to display pride in their service rather than as regulation uniform items.
Can civilians or non-veterans wear US Navy hats?
Civilians can absolutely wear US Navy hats. Many of the caps in this collection are designed for supporters, family members, and fans of military history, not just veterans. Styles like the "Defending Freedom" cap or the "Don't Tread on Me" cap are popular with a broad audience, from outdoor enthusiasts to those who simply want to show respect for naval service.
What materials are the US Navy hats made from, and how do they hold up for everyday wear?
Most caps in the collection are made from 100% cotton or 100% acrylic, with some mesh-panel styles that improve airflow during warm-weather wear. Cotton caps tend to feel softer and breathe well, while acrylic options are generally more shape-retentive. Closure styles include hook-and-loop straps and snap-back adjusters, which make most caps a one-size-fits-most option without needing to know your exact hat size.
Does Army Surplus World offer custom embroidery on Navy hats?
Yes, Army Surplus World offers custom embroidery done on-site at their Houston, Texas location. This is a great option if you want to personalize a hat with a name, rank, ship, or unit. It is especially popular for gifts, memorial pieces, or completing a tribute to a veteran's service.
