reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA041895 | Open PDF

Abstract:

The Navy Clothing and Textile Research Facility NCTRF conducted a field evaluation study of a knit watch cap made of 100 wool and with a process representative of many hat manufacturers throughout the related specialty knitting trade to determine its feasibility for possible adoption by the Navy. This study was necessitated because one manufacturer has made the standard knit watch cap the past 5 years, resulting in a continually escalating cost per unit. The proposed knit watch cap was found to be comparable in all respects with the standard knit watch cap also made of 100 wool, particularly in regard to its most desired characteristics of warmth and comfort.
