Dutch Navy Cold-Weather Hat

This winter hat comes from Dutch military stock in the navy's dark blue. It is built for cold, windy days when a beanie isn't enough to keep your ears and neck warm. The design follows the trapper or ushanka pattern, a fur-style cold-weather hat with flaps that fold up out of the way or down for cover. Collectors of Dutch kit, reenactors and anyone who works outdoors through the winter will find a use for it.

Features

Genuine Dutch Military Issue — This is original government-issue headwear from the Netherlands, not a commercial lookalike.
Navy Blue Colorway — The dark navy shade matches Dutch naval dress and pairs easily with civilian winter coats.
Trapper-Style Fold-Down Flaps — A continuous flap of deep pile wraps the front, sides and back, and folds up off the face or down over the ears and neck.
Deep Plush Pile — The thick, dense pile on the flaps traps a layer of warm air around your head.
Cotton And Fleece Construction — The hat combines cotton and fleece for warmth that stays soft against the skin.
Paneled Fabric Crown — The top of the hat is sewn from shaped fabric panels so it sits close over the head without bunching.
Packable Soft Build — With no rigid brim or frame, it folds flat into a pack or coat pocket when you don't need it.

Issued Dutch Winter Kit

The hat was made for Dutch service personnel, so it follows a government pattern rather than a fashion brand's take on cold-weather headwear. Its fabric crown and deep pile flaps keep the construction simple, with little to fail in the cold. For anyone building a Dutch military collection or a navy impression, it adds an original item from Netherlands stock.
