A light blue cotton twill baseball-style cap featuring a stiff, curved brim and adjustable strap at the back. The front of the cap bears an embroidered United Nations insignia patch, consisting of a white world map encircled by olive branches. The cap is made of six stitched panels with ventilation eyelets on either side.
This cap was worn by members of United Nations peacekeeping forces, serving as an informal or field alternative to the traditional blue beret. It provided greater comfort and sun protection in hot climates while retaining the symbolic UN blue colour associated with neutrality and peacekeeping operations.
