Description
The USMC Campaign Cover is a proud symbol of authority, tradition, and excellence within the United States Marine Corps. Also known as the Marine Corps Drill Instructor Hat, this distinctive style dates back to the 1950s. And the campaign cover style goes back even further–to the 1840’s.
Crafted from 100% OD Green wool felt, the cover is designed for durability and long-lasting wear. Its four-dent style, with a stiff, extra-thick 3-inch brim, ensures the iconic and commanding look that Marines are known for.
The hat features a black leather and vinyl chinstrap with a metal buckle and rivets. Vent eyelets on all four sides allow for breathability and comfort during training or ceremonial use. The campaign cover’s design is fade-resistant, withstanding up to 100 hours of Fade-O-Meter testing, ensuring it remains sharp and professional through even the toughest conditions.
The Drill Instructor Cover has become a key part of Marine Corps history and is worn by the USMC’s elite who take raw recruits and train them into Marines. Its practicality and durability make it suitable for year-round use. The USMC Campaign Cover is not just a hat—it’s a symbol of excellence in leadership, discipline, and US Marine Corps tradition.
