French Army F1 Field Cap

French F1 Field Cap

The F1 field cap is the French Army's general-purpose soft cap, issued to keep sun and rain off the face during field work. It is cut from cotton and printed in CCE woodland camouflage, with a short rounded brim and a fold-down flap at the back for the neck. Collectors, reenactors portraying modern French forces, and anyone who wants a light, practical camo cap will find it a good fit.

Features

• Genuine French Army Issue — This cap was made to French military specification and issued to French Army personnel, so it is the real article rather than a commercial version.
• CCE Camouflage Pattern — The print is CCE (Camouflage Centre Europe), the tan, brown, green and black woodland pattern French forces wore in temperate terrain.
• 100% Cotton Construction — All-cotton fabric is breathable and soft against the forehead, and it stays comfortable through long days outdoors.
• Stitched Rounded Brim — Close rows of stitching stiffen the short, rounded brim so it keeps its shape and shades the eyes from sun and rain.
• Paneled Crown — Sewn fabric panels meet at the top to form a close-fitting crown that sits low on the head.
• Fold-Down Neck Flap — A rear flap folds down to cover the back of the neck in strong sun and tucks away when you don't need it.
• French Military Sizing — Sizes follow head circumference in centimeters: 56 is Small, 57 Medium, 58 Large and 59 Extra Large.
• Lightweight Field Wear — The light cotton build packs flat into a pocket or pack and adds almost no weight to your kit.

Issue Spec and Sizing

The F1 was French Army field headwear for general duty, and this one carries the original cotton construction and CCE print it was issued with. French military sizes are based on head circumference, so measure around your head just above the ears and pick the matching number: 56 (S), 57 (M), 58 (L) or 59 (XL). If you fall between sizes, choose the larger one.
