NOW IN STOCK!  THESE RUN SLIGHLY LARGE.  ORDER ONE SIZE DOWN FROM YOUR REGULAR U.S. FITTED CAP SIZE.  

EXACT recreations of the Apollo 13 USS IWO JIMA crew recovery hat! 

These are fitted hats, and have no elastic band or adjustment. Please see the size chart below, paying close attention to the measurements.  These hats run slightly loose when new. Order a size down if you prefer a tighter fit right out of the box. 

This cap is an exact replica of the crew hats that were purchased by sailors serving aboard the U.S.S. IWO JIMA during the recovery of Apollo 13, April 17, 1970. 

Based on the original "Harvard" brand hats used by the US Navy for crew baseball caps, we have recreated these hats exactly like the originals including:

• Navy blue wool shell material
• Green underbrim
• White leather with red trim sweatband
• Sewn vent holes
• Machine Embroidered "U.S.S. IWO JIMA APOLLO 13" wool patch, rough cut and sewn to the crown, exactly like originals

Just like the originals, these come in fitted sizes rather than the modern stretch or tab hats. Feel proud to wear this hat in the 55th Anniversary year and for years to come! 

Please see the size chart below, paying close attention to the measurements.  These hats slightly loose when new. Order a size down if you prefer a tighter fit right out of the box. Size exchanges and returns are possible but buyer will pay shipping.  CONTACT US with any size questions before you purchase.
