This unissued World War 2-era U.S. Army M1937 Winter Cap is a pristine example of early war military headgear. Manufactured by the Premium Cap Co., the attached label confirms the contract date as September 6, 1940, making this an important piece from the pre-Pearl Harbor buildup of U.S. military forces. Its condition as New Old Stock (NOS) ensures that this cap retains its original color, fabric texture, and structural integrity, a rarity for items of this age.

The cap features a durable cotton shell in a classic olive drab shade and a wool-lined interior for insulation. The wide brim and ear flaps are adjustable, secured by a metal buckle fastener, providing versatile protection against cold weather conditions. This design became a staple for soldiers preparing for winter operations, both domestically and abroad, during the early stages of World War 2.

Marked “Size 6 7/8” and accompanied by a fully legible label, including the specification number (Spec. 6-255) and stock number (73-C), this cap offers exceptional documentation of its authenticity. As an unissued item, it represents a preserved artifact from the mobilization efforts of 1940, a year of significant military expansion for the U.S.

Whether displayed in a collection or studied for its historical context, this M1937 Winter Cap is a valuable and rare addition for collectors of World War 2 militaria. Its early contract date, unissued condition, and precise sizing make it a standout piece of American military history.
