field cap

Military soft cover

A field cap is a soft military cap with a visor, designed for practical use in the field rather than formal occasions.

The term covers various styles across different armies and eras, from the American patrol cap to the German kepi-style caps of World War II.

Field caps typically fold flat for easy storage: He stuffed his field cap into his back pocket.
