OBJECT STUDY

Vintage Military Surplus USAF Ripstop Utility Cap Digital Tiger Stripe. A 50% nylon, 50% cotton headwear piece finished as a unisex archive object. The crown, brim and panel construction sit in deliberate proportion, with surface texture and any intentional distressing preserved as found. Selected as a one-of-one entry, it carries the wear marks and material behaviour of a previously used item rather than new production.

CONSTRUCTION DETAILS

Constructed from 50% nylon, 50% cotton. The panels are joined with clean seaming and finished edges, and the closure system is reinforced for repeated use. The interior band and crown structure are shaped to hold the silhouette, while surface texture, weave and any intentional fading are left visible as part of the object's archive history. Material behaviour and construction marks are preserved rather than concealed.

CONDITION

Grade B — Minimal loose stitching.
