Austrian Field Cap, Winter Model, Fun Green, Surplus

If you have pondered what would a bastard child of a field cap and a fur hat have looked in the ‘80s, here you go! An awesome cap in case you plan on getting lost in the Alps or just like to look dashing. This baby will be seen and it will keep your head warm.

Features

This multifunctional cap is transmogrified into a winter hat with a flick of a button. The faux fur flaps flippety flop down and protect your ears/face from the wrath of the Snow Queen. When the storm is over, just flip them up ago and you can boldly go towards the civilization.

Usually military winter headgear is white or snow camo but here Austrians have taken an invigoratingly different approach. These otherworldly green beauties will stand out no matter where you go. The design is somewhat similar to the winter hat of the rebel troops, so if you only take black & white selfies, you can imagine you’re in some galaxy far, far away.

Materials and care

There are field caps of different generations here, so the materials vary. On some of these, the shell fabric is 100% cotton, on others 65/35 polycotton. Also, the lining and insulation vary from wool to synthetics. There can be some other combinations, too.

Choosing the right size

The first figure is the EU size, which is the circumference of the head in centimeters, then the US size. The sizes are fairly accurate but not overly generous. If you like a bit looser fit, take one size bigger.

Condition

Used Austrian military surplus. The condition varies from very little used to more used. They have been stacked on top of each other so they might have flattened to some extent during the years. But they should get back in shape in use. They are all intact and serviceable though!
