MILITARY SURPLUS Canadian Cap Peaked Winter

$19.97 AUD

Size
Following the end of the Second World War the Canadian Army reviewed its uniforms and introduced a pair of new peaked caps for its troops. One was a lightweight summer cap, whilst the other was a winter cap made of brown serge wool.

This cap has a broad peak to keep the sun off and a brown leather chin strap.

This strap is secured to the cap by a pair of blackened Canadian army buttons, with King’s crowns on them.  Interestingly though, despite the Queen’s crown coming into use from 1952 onwards, this cap wasn’t manufactured until 1954:

These caps actually saw service in Korea but we’re not really suitable.
