US Repro M43 WWII Field Cap
The US Repro M43 WWII Field Cap from Mil-Tec recreates the iconic M-1943 field cap issued to American GIs from 1943 through the end of the war. Constructed from OD cotton poplin with a short stiffened visor, concealed wool-flannel-lined fold-down earflaps, and ventilation grommets, it follows the original wartime pattern down to the aged interior manufacturer's tag. Designed to wear under the M1 helmet and pair with the M-1943 field jacket, the cap completes any late-war US Army impression. A solid pick for WWII reenactors, living historians, collectors, and military film and theater wardrobes.

Nice for the priceNice for the price. Well constructed and appears to be durable. Has proper material inside the ear flap. While made out of cotton, it is not the same fabric as an original. Overall, a good cap.

Decent hat.Looks nice, but seems to run small. Was able to wet it and stretch it several times over several days, now it fits.
Looks right, color is great.
Just seems to run small. I got the biggest size and it was a little too tight.
