Italian Army Woodland Camo BDU Field Cap

Italian Woodland Field Cap

This is a field cap issued by the Italian Army to wear with the BDU, or Battle Dress Uniform, the combat fatigues soldiers wear in the field. It keeps sun and glare off your face and stays on the head without the bulk of a boonie hat. It suits collectors of Italian kit, reenactors building an accurate uniform, and anyone who wants a hard-wearing camo cap for the range, the woods or the yard.

Features

• Woodland Camouflage — A four-colour disruptive pattern of green, brown, tan and black breaks up your outline against foliage and shadow.
• Cotton-Polyester Twill — The blend pairs the comfort of cotton with the strength and colour retention of polyester, in a diagonal twill weave that resists snagging.
• Multi-Row Stitched Brim — Several concentric rows of stitching run across the peak to help it hold its shape and shade the eyes.
• Metal Ventilation Eyelets — Dark metal grommets set into the side panels let heat escape from the crown.
• Banded Crown — A stitched fabric band circles the cap above the brim, giving the classic military field cap profile.
• Contrast Topstitching — Tan thread runs along every main seam, matching the period construction of the cap.
• Genuine Italian Army Issue — This is authentic government headwear produced for the Italian Army, not a commercial copy.

Issued Headwear

The cap was made to the Italian Army's specification for field use, so the fabric, stitching and hardware follow a military pattern rather than a fashion brand's take on one. The woodland print pairs naturally with BDU-cut jackets and trousers. For a collector or reenactor, original issue carries a provenance a commercial cap does not.
