German Flecktarn Camo Bush Hat

Flecktarn Bush Hat

This Mil-Tec bush hat keeps sun and rain off your face and neck on long days outdoors, and it does so in Flecktarn, the dense five-color dot camouflage used by the German army. The pattern is modeled on the USGI bush hat of the Vietnam era: a full crown and a wide brim you can wear down for shade or snap up at the side. It suits hunters, campers, airsoft and reenactment players, and anyone building a German-pattern kit.

Features

• Flecktarn Camouflage — The German "spotted" pattern layers small blotches of greens, browns and black to break up your outline in woodland and mixed cover.
• Cotton Construction — Cotton fabric stays soft and breathable in warm weather and feels comfortable against the forehead.
• Wide Reinforced Brim — A broad brim shades the eyes, ears and back of the neck and keeps its shape when worn down.
• Snap-Up Side Brim — The side of the brim snaps up against the crown, which keeps it clear of a rifle stock or pack strap.
• Ventilation Eyelets — Four metal eyelets on the sides of the crown let heat escape from the top of the head.
• Adjustable Chin Cord — A cord with a sliding toggle runs under the chin so the hat stays on in wind or when you lean forward.
• Foliage Band — A fabric band around the crown holds grass, leaves or twigs, so you can add natural camouflage that matches your surroundings.
• Vietnam-Era Design — The cut follows the classic USGI bush hat, a shape soldiers in hot climates have relied on for decades.

Build And Pattern

Mil-Tec makes this hat in cotton and prints it in the same Flecktarn pattern found on Bundeswehr field uniforms, so it matches German surplus shirts and jackets closely. The brim is stitched to hold its shape, and you can wear it flat all round or with one side snapped up, as the photos show. Check the size options on this page and choose the one that matches your head circumference.
