German Military Red Wool Beret

Bundeswehr Red Beret

This is an original German Army (Bundeswehr) wool beret in red, the color that marked its wearer's branch of service. It was issued to combat support troops, including support, signal and command units. Collectors, reenactors and anyone building an accurate Bundeswehr uniform get the genuine article here, made in Germany to the army's own pattern.

Features

• 100% Wool Body — The crown is dense wool that holds its shape and keeps the head warm in cool weather.
• Cotton Lining — A 100% cotton lining sits between the wool and your head for comfort.
• Leather Sweatband — A black leather band runs around the opening, binding the edge and absorbing sweat at the forehead.
• Rear Drawstring Tie — A black ribbon at the back cinches the band, so you can tighten the fit and finish it with a bow.
• Reinforced Badge Panel — The front panel is stiffened to carry a metal cap badge without the wool sagging under its weight.
• Twin Air Vents — Two small vents in the side let heat escape during long wear.
• Branch-of-Service Red — Bundeswehr beret colors identify the wearer's branch, and red belongs to combat support troops.
• Made In Germany — Produced in Germany as standard-issue headwear for the Bundeswehr.

Bundeswehr Issue Spec

The beret follows the standard German military pattern. The wool crown is shaped to be pulled down to one side, the leather band frames the face, and the drawstring at the rear adjusts the fit. Because it is genuine Bundeswehr issue, the color, cut and hardware are correct for the uniform it belongs to.
