Propper's BDU Patrol caps are made from a lighter weight cotton cloth in a ripstop weave with single-ply construction with serged inside seam and plastic insert visors that breathes well and is initially durable. Consistent with other cotton fabrics, the color will fade quickly, and over time the cotton fibers will lose their strength under industrial wear and laundering. If color integrity is an important end-user expectation, please do not choose this cloth.
