In the Atlantis Headwear catalogue, the Tank-S and the Army-S share the military shape but differ in material and positioning. The Tank-S in brushed organic-recycled cotton targets anyone who wants the tactical aesthetic with a certified natural material; the Army-S in is for anyone after technical durability. The choice depends on the brand's values: certified cotton for the natural narrative, polyester for the durability narrative.

The construction in -certified 80% organic and 20% recycled with a slightly brushed effect offers a soft surface that recalls the aesthetic of the lived-in military hat. The sides have an 8×3 cm area — wider than the polyester Army-S's 6×2 cm — partially compensating for the reduced front area (10×3 cm) typical of the military shape. The recycled visor and the velcro closure complete the certified material profile.
Printing techniques.
A verdict for each one.
What to expect on this specific product, technique by technique.
The patch is the customisation technique most consistent with the Tank-S's military aesthetic: a woven patch on the front or side in brushed cotton creates an aesthetically authentic combination. A patch on brushed cotton holds excellently with perimeter stitching. Recommended size: 5-7 cm front.
Embroidery is applicable on the front (10×3 cm) with a recommended start 2 cm from the visor edge. The front area is reduced because of the unstructured military shape — favour horizontal logos or single-line text. The sides offer an 8×3 cm embroiderable area — wider than the polyester Army-S (6×2 cm), an advantage for side logos. Back 8×2.5 cm. The brushed cotton requires a stabilising backing. Not compatible with 3D puff embroidery. Closure embroiderable 3×1 cm.

The Tank-S is the certified organic cotton army cap for outdoor brands with a natural heritage aesthetic: the brushed organic cotton communicates authenticity differently from the Army-S's technical ripstop. The khaki, olive, dark grey palette is the colour combination of contemporary European outdoor.
The military hat in brushed cotton is a piece of the gorpcore, heritage and workwear aesthetics of contemporary streetwear. The GRS-certified organic cotton version adds a natural-materials narrative that polyester ripstop cannot offer. The patch is the recommended customisation.
