Green Class A Garrison Cap - New

U.S. Army Green Class A Garrison Cap – New

The Army Green Garrison Cap (officially the "Cap, Garrison, Army Green 489") is the traditional headgear for the Army Service Uniform (ASU) Class A and Class B configurations. This cap is worn by both officers and enlisted personnel, with specific piping (braid) used to denote the wearer's rank or branch. Crafted from a high-quality wool and polyester blend in the signature Army Green 489 shade, this cap is designed to maintain a sharp, professional crease and a tailored appearance.

As a "New" (unissued) item, this cap represents the final generation of the green service uniform era before the transition to the Army Blue Service Uniform. It is a vital component for military ceremonies, vintage uniform restoration, and collections focusing on the late 20th-century U.S. Army aesthetic. This NSN 8405-01-334-1502 model is the definitive "Enlisted" version, featuring the plain green edge without officer gold/black piping.
