The soft version of the SD cap introduced in 1916 with leather chinstrap.
What period is this cap a reproduction of?
This is a reproduction of the soft version of the SD cap. It was introduced in 1916. The cap is suitable for World War 1 impressions.
How does the cap fit?
The cap generally fits snugly and high on the head. It is often a tight fit, even when ordering a normal hat size. Ordering a size up is often recommended.
What are the materials used in the cap?
The cap is made from khaki serge cloth. It has a white cotton twill lining. The chinstrap is made of leather.
Is the chinstrap historically accurate?
The chinstrap is generally considered authentic. Some caps ship with a plastic buckle, while others have a stamped metal one. The buckle nearest the rivet should be an H-shaped type, but some caps have a rectangular buckle instead.
What is the typical length of the chinstrap?
The chinstrap is often a bit long, and some caps require trimming. However, some caps ship with a chinstrap that is the correct length. The strap can also be shrunk by wetting it slightly and letting it dry.
How can the cap be adjusted for a better fit?
Soaking the cap in hot water and wearing it until dry can help it conform to the head. This method can also help to shrink the chinstrap if it is too long. Ordering a size up from your normal hat size is also a common approach.
