Our Aviation Working Green (AWG) Combination Cap for Chief Petty Officers is manufactured with a 55/45 polyester-wool blend, one of two fabrics that were authorized for the AWG coat and trousers/slacks and the same material used for USMC’s Service “A” Uniform and Cap. (At least as late as 2006, U.S. Navy Uniform Regulations did not require the cap fabric to match the uniform fabric.)
Manufactured in the U.S.A. with Mil-Spec-certified materials, the AWG Combination Cap for Chief Petty Officers is shipped ready to wear, with all cap insignia mounted per Navy uniform rules. Insignia includes the black chin strip, the two gold-colored retaining buttons that hold the strap in place, and the CPO insignia centered on the front of the cap above the visor.
Although the Navy retired the AWG uniform at the end of 2010, we here at The Salute Uniforms have continued to manufacture it according to the regulations and specifications that were in effect while it was still officially authorized for wear by Officers and Chief Petty Officers.
