WWI Swedish Sheepswool Army Hat

Original WWI Swedish Sheepswool Army Hat

Forged for Nordic fronts at the dawn of the 20th century, this genuine WWI Swedish Army cap pairs dense sheepswool pile with a tough leather brim and rear size strap. The result is a lightweight lid that locks in heat while shrugging off snow and sleet - battle-tested by Swedish and Finnish troops. Whether you’re rebuilding a Great War kit, hunting winter white-tail, or just craving heritage style that tames lake-effect winds, this small/medium hat delivers field-proven warmth without synthetics. Condition is surplus-good, so expect the proud patina and subtle color shifts earned over a century in storage.
