Specifications

Available Sizes

The M43 field cap was introduced during World War II as a practical replacement for earlier German field cap designs. It combined the usefulness of a visor with fold-down side panels that could provide additional protection in colder conditions. Its simple and functional design made it one of the most widely recognized German field caps of the later war period.

Enlisted versions of the M43 cap were generally plainer than officer models and did not include decorative silver officer piping. This gave the cap a more utilitarian field appearance, appropriate for enlisted soldiers and standard field wear.

This German M43 Waffen-SS Enlisted Wool Field Cap is a solid choice for anyone needing a plain enlisted-style WWII German field cap reproduction. With its field grey wool construction, lined interior, visor inserts, pebbled buttons, and period-inspired details, it provides the correct enlisted look for reenactors, collectors, living history displays, and historical costume use.
