Description
Reproduction of the M42 reversible camouflage caps worn in WWII. Our caps are made from our new custom woven 100% cotton poplin camouflage fabric, and the pattern and colors were taken directly from original examples. The cap design is likewise made from the real thing and our visor inserts are not cardboard or plastic but treated split leather, again, same as originals. We assemble them here in our own shop to insure that they are sized accurately and fit as they should. Yes, it costs more, but after repeated disasters with caps assembled overseas, this is the only way to produce a top quality product.
The reason our camo caps look different than the other reproductions is due to a minor pattern change- I discovered the “secret” to the peak several years ago when I obtained a dogged out original and dis-assembled it. It’s amazing how much a one centimeter alteration totally made all the difference in how the cap fits, looks and the forms.
