Swiss Wool Overseas Cap
The Swiss Wool Overseas Cap is genuine surplus headgear issued to the Swiss Armed Forces for cold-weather duty in the Alps. Built from heavy wool in the traditional blue-grey Swiss military shade, it wears flat as a garrison-style side cap or unfolds into a full winter cap with fold-down ear and neck flaps secured by metal snaps. The dense wool blocks wind and holds warmth even when damp, and the low-profile shape folds flat for easy stowage. A solid pick for hunters, hikers, reenactors, and collectors who want authentic European military headwear that actually performs in the cold.

Features
- Genuine Swiss Military Issue — Authentic surplus headgear issued to the Swiss Armed Forces for cold-weather and Alpine operations.
- Heavy Wool Construction — Dense wool body provides serious insulation and naturally wicks moisture in wet, snowy conditions.
- Convertible Design — Wears as a flat garrison-style side cap or unfolds into a full winter cap with chin and neck coverage.
- Fold-Down Ear and Neck Flaps — Drop the panels to seal off your ears, jaw, and the back of your neck when temperatures plunge.
- Snap-Adjustable Fit — Metal snaps lock the flaps in the up or down position so the cap stays put on the move.
- Blue-Grey Field Color — Classic Swiss military blue-grey tone matches period uniforms and looks at home with civilian winter wear.
- Low-Profile Garrison Shape — Folds flat for easy stowage in a cargo pocket, pack lid, or jacket pouch when not in use.
- Cold-Weather Workhorse — Built for sentry duty, patrol, and mountain service in some of Europe's harshest terrain.
- Collector and Field Use — Works equally well for living history, reenactment, costume builds, or real winter wear in the woods.

Great hatWell made, looks great and I'm the only one on the block that has one.
Folds flat, light weight, can keep ears warm too.
Need to practice unfolding and refolding.

CoolFYI update------found that if you extend the peak as in winter hood mode, you in effect gain one size, from 59 to 60. Benefit, cap has more the appearance on a German field hat. Rather "cool" looking!
makes a small cap usable.
