Rhodesian Camouflage Flap Cap or Keko Patrol Cap

The cap is a tight fit for some, even when ordering a size up. One size up from your usual size can still be tight. The sizing is not always accurate, and some caps marked with a specific size are not true to that measurement. The cap can be stretched by wearing it or by using a hat stretcher.

The cap is a quality, sturdy reproduction. It is well-made and durable. The cap is described as excellent quality and top quality.

The camouflage pattern is described as one of the best-looking ever fielded. The colours seem to be accurate, and the pattern looks better with each wash. Some caps have a green-dominated brushstroke, while others have a more visible brushstroke pattern.

The neck flap is effective at protecting the neck from the sun. It is initially stiff but becomes more natural and less stiff after wearing the cap for some time. The flap allows the ears to hear clearly while providing sun protection.

The cap's shape and style are much like those used in Rhodesia. Initially, the shape may not seem right, but after wearing it and researching, it aligns with the historical style. Some caps may sit differently on the head compared to original C Caps.

If the cap is too large, it can be shrunk to the correct size by washing it at high temperatures. If it is too tight, it can be stretched by wearing it or by using a hat stretcher. Washing the cap at 60C with gentle liquid for colours and then drying it naturally can help it fit perfectly.
