Italian Army Field Cap

Italian Vegetato Field Cap

This is the Italian Army's field cap, the everyday soft headwear worn with the combat uniform in the field. It is cut from cotton ripstop and printed in Vegetato, the Italian digital woodland camouflage. It shades your eyes and takes a beating. Collectors of Italian kit, reenactors and anyone who wants an issued patrol cap rather than a commercial one will find what they need here.

Features

• Vegetato Camouflage — Italy's own pixelated woodland pattern mixes greens, browns, tan and black for cover in mixed vegetation.
• Cotton Ripstop Fabric — The cotton is woven with a reinforcing grid, so a small snag cannot run into a long tear.
• Elasticated Rear Band — Shirred elastic at the back of the cap pulls it snug to the head and gives the fit some stretch.
• Side Ventilation Eyelets — Metal-rimmed eyelets on each side of the crown let heat escape on long days outdoors.
• Patrol-Cap Profile — A structured crown with a flat top keeps the classic military field-cap shape.
• Fabric Crown Band — A stitched band runs around the base of the crown above the brim and adds strength where the cap takes the most handling.
• Short Curved Brim — The compact peak shades the eyes without getting in the way under a hood or when you shoulder a rifle.
• Genuine Italian Army Issue — This cap was made for and issued by the Italian Army, not produced for the commercial market.

Italian Army Issue

The cap was built to the Italian Army's own field specification: cotton ripstop, metal ventilation eyelets and an elastic back instead of a strap or buckle. The Vegetato print matches Italian combat uniforms in the same pattern, which makes the cap a correct piece for anyone building an Italian loadout or display. Issued gear like this carries real provenance, and that is why collectors pick it over a commercial copy.
