New reproduction of the standard issue headgear of the British soldier in WWII.  All wool construction,  brass General Service buttons.

NOTE: This new run is made in khaki wool barathea, like our original run of these caps.  Not as accurate as our more recent production, but this is the only fabric we could get to supply the huge demand for these caps.  We will try to improve but it will take some time.  Meanwhile, this is all we can offer.

What period is this cap a reproduction of?

This is a reproduction of the standard issue headgear for British soldiers during WWII. The Field Service Cap went out of service in 1948. It is suitable for creating a WW2 Australian Army impression with appropriate modifications.

How does the sizing of the cap run?

The cap generally runs small, and ordering one size up from your normal head size is recommended for a correct fit. Some caps may initially appear large but fit perfectly when tried on. There can be variations in shape and size between individual caps, even those of the same stated size. Measuring your head before purchasing is advised.

What kind of buttons are fitted to the cap?

The cap is fitted with brass General Service buttons. Some caps ship with Queen's head (QC) style buttons, which may need to be replaced for historical accuracy. Other caps have been supplied with original King's Crown (KC) General Service buttons.

Is the cap suitable for reenactment or display?

The cap is an excellent reproduction suitable for reenactment, with its authentic appearance and quality. It is also suitable for display, with one owner delighted to have it for their grandson. The cap's quality and authenticity make it a good base for customisation to represent specific units or armies.
