U.S. MARITIME SERVICE / MERCHANT MARINE CAPTAIN OR COMMANDER KHAKI CAP

The Senior Officer status of Commanders (O-5) and Captains (O-6) in the United States Maritime Service (USMS) and Merchant Marine is reflected in the two arcs of oak leaves embroidered in fine detail on the black visor of the Khaki Combination Cap. Though it’s worn only with the Khaki Service Uniform in the Maritime Service, two versions of the cap are offered—one made with Certified Navy Twill, another with a 75/25 polywool blend—to ensure that its fabric matches that of the uniform with which the cap will be worn.

We ship the USMS Khaki Captain/Commander Combination Cap with all components already attached, including the gold-lace chin strap, the silver-and-gold Officer’s cap device, and gold retaining buttons with the USMS emblem of a fouled anchor on a shield wreathed in laurel and inscribed “USMS.” (You may request Merchant Marine retaining buttons by using the Comments option during the checkout process.)
