This is a high-quality reproduction of the WWI Austro-Hungarian Feldkappe M1908 field cap, worn throughout the First World War by Imperial and Royal Army troops. The cap features the characteristic tapered crown, short leather visor, and front button detail in field-grey wool. Faithfully reproduced using correct materials and construction, this is an accurate historical piece and not a cheap copy.
