The cap features 2 silver pebbled buttons on the front, which can be undone and the hat to be turned in to a 'balaclava' like garment. The caps have silver coloured piping running around the circumference of the top. high quality repros, true to the originals and made from a quality wool. please note: the visor on these caps is made from a cloth-covered pasteboard/heavy cardboard, as per the originals. They are therefore not machine washable. these reproduction ww2 german m43 luftwaffe officers caps are great quality, and a must for any re-enactor.
