The Papa Nui Z-Special Cap comes in Canadian Khaki wool is a reproduction of a knit-comforter cap used by Commonwealth special operations groups, the Australian Z-force, the British Commandos and the US Army Rangers. The US ‘Darby’s Rangers’, were originally formed in the UK and trained by the British and hence employed a great deal of British gear at their inception. The cap-comforter is an ingenious and perplexing design to the uninitiated. It is essentially a tube of knitted wool that is sewn together at both ends. So when it is completely unfurled it is a short scarf. When one end is tucked into itself and worked through to the other end and folded over, it can be worn as a double-layered knit cap. The WWII era ones were sometimes stamped with manufacturers and government property marks but all incorporated the Commonwealth Broad Arrow design as a mark of provenance so does the Papa’s version.
