Field Gray M43 Einheitsmütze – reproduction of German wool cap from World War II

German field cap model M43, newly manufactured by Mil-Tec as a reproduction of the iconic headgear introduced in 1943 for the German Wehrmacht and other units. The cap is sewn in a heavy wool blend in classic field gray, with a cotton lining for increased wearing comfort. The design is based on the earlier mountain cap (Bergmütze) but was adapted for broader military use. Characteristic details like two buttons at the front, foldable ear flaps, and historically accurate cut make the cap particularly suitable for reenactment, collection, or film production.

Historical Background

The Field Cap M43 (Feldmütze M43) was introduced in 1943 as a standardized headgear for German troops and replaced previous models. It was derived from the alpine mountain cap but simplified somewhat in production. The cap was worn on all fronts during the final stages of the war, by Wehrmacht, Luftwaffe, and other units. The characteristic appearance – low profile, angled brim, and ear flaps – has made it one of the most recognizable uniform caps from the period.

• Historical reenactment (Wehrmacht 1943–1945)
• Uniform collection and military history interest
• Film and theater production
• Bushcraft and retro-inspired outdoor activities
