This Cap was an unofficial comercial Hat form as an alternative to M-1951 field cap and was approved in 1953 by the Chief of Staff, General Matthew Ridgeway in order to give the Troops a soldierly Image. These Caps were sold at that time at a cost of about $ 2 in the PX as a Self buying Item. Especially after washing, the M-1951 Field Caps had a very Casual look, so Soldiers tried to stiff them by Starching and adding Cardboard Inserts to shape the M-1951 Field Caps to the famous "Coffee Can Style", which was, however, only moderately successful. With the seizure of power by Fidel Castro in Cuba this Cap was abolished for political reasons.
