This is the predecessor to the WW2 German Bergmutze cap!
The Austro-Hungarian uniforms went through several changes prior to and during WW1. Like much of the Central Powers, uniforms became scarce and there was a declining quality which lead to a wide range of headwear, colours, finishes and modifications to save resources!
This reproduction cap is made of museum quality materials and the workmanship is outstanding. A very high quality Pre1907 Cap which is perfect for wearing or displaying your genuine Austro-Hungarian cap badges so widely used in WW1. See final picture as an example (The side badge and feathers are not included in the sale but you can get the badge on this link here). Notice the pocket on the side for the feathers, the stitching under the front (not tacked stitched and the correct leather/cotton liner.
Notice the cap does not fold down like the standard caps, it is stitched in the upright position - why? Saving resources and to keep the weight down officially, but was more likely a administrative mistake!
If you like a snug fit order your correct head size, if you like a loose fit order a size larger!
