Description
Swedish Issue Field Cap
This is a field cap issued by the Swedish Army, built for soldiers working outdoors in a cold northern climate. It pairs a short visor brim with a cloth flap that wraps around the sides and back to cover the ears and neck when wind and cold set in. It suits collectors of Scandinavian kit, reenactors, and anyone who wants a practical cold-weather cap with real service provenance.
Features
- Genuine Swedish Army Issue — Made for and issued by the Swedish Army, so you get original government kit rather than a commercial copy.
- Ear And Neck Flap — A cloth flap runs around the sides and back of the cap to shield the ears and the nape of the neck from wind and cold.
- Short Visor Brim — A compact, rounded brim keeps sun and rain off the eyes without getting in the way of a collar or hood.
- Cotton And Polyester Blend — The cotton gives a soft, breathable feel, while the polyester adds strength and helps the fabric hold its shape.
- Paneled Crown — The crown is sewn from several fabric panels for a rounded fit that sits close to the head.
- Stitched Front Band — A band of fabric runs across the front above the brim, finished with visible lines of stitching.
- Olive Green Color — A muted military green that blends into woodland and field settings and matches other Swedish olive kit.
Issued By Sweden
Sweden equipped its soldiers for long winters, and this cap reflects that: a plain, functional design with built-in protection for the ears and neck. Because it was produced to an army specification and not for the fashion market, the cut and construction are straightforward and made for daily field use. Wear it on its own in cool weather, or add it to a Swedish uniform or collection as an authentic piece of issued headwear.

Perfect Fit For My Big HeadBought this size 61 cap for my head and it fits great. Wore it all day at the range and the olive color blends right in with my jacket. The material is thick like real surplus stuff.

Excellent!I ordered the large (59) cap. It fit a bit loose, but perfectly actually. Very comfortable. For comparison I also ordered the large German wool cap in Flechtern pattern and found that to be a bit tight. I love this cap. It's a nice neutral green, and is well made, and well designed. It provides ample head coverage and looks good. The ear covers and bill are perfectly sized. An important point to convey is that the material used is doubled. I.e., rather than being thick, it's two layers - thus there is an air layer between. This would be too warm to wear in the summer but ought to be excellent in spring and summer. I don't know if it would be enough in sub freezing weather. It's not likely to be as effective as the German or other fully winter caps. This isn't a deficiency, just a note. I was really pleased with this cap and will be ordering a few more, in different sizes as what I anticipate will be very welcome winter solstice presents. I'll also add them to my trucks and go bags. ALmost forgot to add, the one I received was obviously brand new.

Great buy for 3-season wearYou won;t wear this to baseball games in July but you will love them scouting hunting trails in the fall and getting the mail or afternoon winter hunts. Will even work well on cool spring days. Bill is a good size and earmuffs are a nice feature.
