ATTENTION:  The cap comforter is a scarf that you roll up into a cap.  To operate, you put your fist in one end, make a sock puppet, and roll it up (yes, many people ask). My repros are an exact copy of the WWII version in light khaki color.

I'm really getting tired of outraged customers complaining that we sent a scarf instead of a cap comforter.  Take your medication and read the instructions!

What is a cap comforter?

The cap comforter is a scarf that is rolled up to form a cap. It is a reproduction of the British knit cap issued to all British soldiers during WWII. To form the cap, you put your fist in one end, make a sock puppet, and roll it up. It is designed to be a versatile piece of headwear.

What material is the cap comforter made from?

The cap comforter is made from a wool blend. Some jackets appear to be a bronze acrylic knit out of the bag, but rinsing in lukewarm soapy water suggests a wet wool element. The wool is substantial and high quality, making it warm and wind-resistant.

Is the cap comforter warm?

The cap comforter is very warm and substantial, making it excellent for cold conditions. It keeps the head and ears dry and is effective in snow and winter weather, even in temperatures as low as -20 C with significant winds. The folded fabric provides wind resistance and warmth.

What is the colour of the cap comforter?

The cap comforter is a light khaki colour, an exact copy of the WWII version. Some jackets appear to be a dark taupe or a bronze acrylic knit out of the bag. The colour can also appear a bit lighter than expected.

How long is the cap comforter before it is rolled into a cap?

Out of the bag, the cap comforter is excessively long, measuring 80cm. This length allows it to be rolled up into a cap. The design is simple and effective for its intended purpose.

Can the cap comforter be used for purposes other than reenactment?

Yes, the cap comforter is practical for purposes beyond reenacting. It is excellent for any outdoor activity, including hunting in harsh conditions. It is also suitable for general use in cold weather.
