M-1941 HBT Cap

First issue fatigue and field cap made in sage green HBT. Patterned from original, unissued and unaltered samples, our caps feature 8 pleats and 4 air vents in the body, and the bill is reinforced with 8 rows of stitching. This cap was initially intended for armored troops and mechanics, but was quickly adopted by all army personnel. The HBT cap was worn by all troops from late 1942 onwards. This cap (as well as the M1943) was also used by the Marines (often with a metal EGA pinned to the front) for most of the War as their cap (see below) did not appear until early 1945. The bill is approximately 2 inches long.
This is the "shorter bill" which a few numbskulls erroneously insist to a be a "paratrooper" model. Everybody had these- not just the brothers in the band.

These are only manufactured in sizes 7, 7 1/4, 7 1/2 and 7 3/4. No other sizes made.
