The Official US Navy “DIXIE CUP” Hat 100% Made in the USA The "Dixie Cup" hat has been a staple of the U.S. Navy since 1880, and ORC Industries has proudly manufactured it since 1991. Any other version sold online is an imposter! This iconic white hat, symbolizing the American sailor, has deep roots in naval tradition. Evolving from a white straw hat in 1866 to a canvas version in the 1880s, it was later crafted from cotton for better comfort and cost. Complaints about drooping brims in hot climates led to reinforced stitching—still used today—to maintain its signature shape. At ORC, we continue to produce the "Dixie Cup" to exact Navy standards, honoring a proud tradition of craftsmanship and "Made in the USA" quality. Material: Cotton/Poly Blend *Hats may have minor cosmetic flaws
