History

The overseas cap, also known as a side cap, was widely used by military personnel during the first half of the 20th century. Its simple folded shape made it practical, compact, and easy to wear when a helmet or formal peaked cap was not required. During World War II, German forces used several variations of field caps and side caps as part of their service and field uniforms.

The M40 style reflects the practical military headwear designs of the WWII period. Reproduction caps like this are commonly used today in museum displays, living history programs, stage productions, film costuming, and private collections to help represent the material culture and uniform styles of the era.
