>>65273000>gets sunburn on his neck
>>65273000Rhodie cap, with the neck flap to stop floppies flicking stuff down the back of your shirt
>>65273192The irony of posting a yellow built waifu. She wont burn in the PNG sun.
>>65273000Wait did nazis really wear confederate USA hats? Same color and everything?
>>65273297Hitler was Austrian, who are southern Germans.One struggle...
>>65273192hon hon hon
>>65273405>literal white flag to display as they retreat
>>65273000>beside big full brim cowboy, these are the only hats that make sense. Unless you are a cattle rancher, wearing a cowboy hat is the most faggy goddamned thing you could ever do>USA switched to quasi-Nazi helmets so should do the same for caps The US already tried something like that. The winter version of the patrol cap wasn't warm enough in the winter to replace a simple watch cap and in the summer it was too warm. Not surprisingly nobody liked them>got flaps and you can stash stuff in folds when folded up.Useless feature, you already have pockets and you should get your FUCKING HANDS out of them>Make the caps able to worn with helmet.If you wear your Einheitsmütze under your helmet, your Hauptfeldwebel is going to beat you to death. It will be justified. You will go directly to hell.
nothing tops a well fitted cocked hat (tricorn) If it's sunny on your neck you can flip it around and wear it backwardsif it's sunny to port or starboard you can let either side down and wear it like an slouch hat if its sunny everywhere you can undo the whole thing and wear it like a boonie plus it looks cool, although granted it absolutely doe not look good with any post-industrial clothes
>>65273297Are you retarded?
>>65273464cigarettes get crushed in my pants pockets, hat storage is pretty goodyou're right about everything else though
>>65273512The Swedish army wore tacticool tricorns up until WW2
>>65273571The Swedish army fought zero wars in between the tricorn falling out of relevance and WW2.
>>65273580Sweden was a coalition member against Napoleon.
>>65273571the brim is to short but he's still almost pulling if off
>>65273571>up untilIt wasn't in continuos service until then, it fell out of fashion here not long after basically everywhere else, and was then reintroduced in the early 20th century for some NCO-ish ranks.
>>65273297Racist dog whistle
>>65273000>Make the caps able to worn with helmet.sooo cycling caps?
>>65273580The Swedish army was invited to Iran to help modernize their military in the 1900s and created a special gendarmerie made up of Swedes which fought the British and Russians when they invaded during WW1
>>65273424oof, well playedCitroen is French for lemon, no?
>>65273000>USA switched to quasi-Nazi helmetsIt's not that they straight up copied the Stahlhelm, but when they were designing and testing the PASGT in the 70s-80s the design ultimately ended up looking like a Stahlhelm because they figured out that general shape was best for the structure and protection of the helmet. Same reason they started issuing the helmet covers, since they wanted it to break up the shape of the helmet so it wouldn't look like The Nazi Helmet(TM)
>>65273571bi and tri are highly practical survival gear since the real ones are can be un-buttoned and let down into Big Rain Hat, or big sun hat, or just sleeping shade, or water bucket, or window shade.WTF is point of "garrison hat"? looks like it folds down into something practical but don't.Peaked officer's cap makes anyone look like a douche. Don't seem too practical. Expensive, can't be packed, can't be stored so when indoors and "no hats" you are suddenly like a woman with a purse, except the purse has nothing in it, don't allow add-ons, or cig storage, in rain cops gotta wear those clear plastic covers that really look like shit, WTF is the point? Anyone wear one and like it?Wearing a bi-corn straight or sideways can be indicator or just shade sun from WTF sun is shining.
>>65274587i don't buy that cause the krauts and the US both had helmet covers during ; also helmet covers were continuously used though korea and vietnam on the M1s
>>65273192not with flaps down and unbuttoned
>>65273464>Unless you are a cattle rancher, wearing a cowboy hat is the most faggy goddamned thing you could ever doi do not give a fuck how it looks. cowboy hats are pretty good protection against the sun, which is pretty much the only reason to wear a hat.
>>65273900>Cue the Mark Felton Productions intro musicIf he hasn't gotten into WWI stuff yet he should.
>>65273000Isnt this basically a stormy kromer hat? Did the Nazis copy some old maid from Michigan circa 1903?
>>65273464>nooooooooooo you have to wear a baseball hat and a hoodie because everything is sloppified today, you can NOT wear a nice hand made leather hat
>>65273000I like my replica Luftwaffe M43 field cap.The US military should also embrace feldblau.
>>65273000as someone who has worn a beat to shit bergmutze for the past 4 years in the forests and mountains, i can say that i would rather just wear a beanie honestly. no hate or anything, i just got beaniepilled and prefer them now.pic related, i don't wear it anymore so i decorated it and set it on top of my book collection to remind myself of the fond memories i madeyeah sure, you can put stuff in the flaps OR you can put stuff in your pockets instead, safe from the elements and won't risk losing it. the brim and folds are good for blocking out the rain and sun but you can always just wear a sun hoodie plus boonie, i personally keep both a beanie and bucket hat on my person while the rain shell pants and jacket are in my bag. just switch out whenever the weather calls for it.the folds and brim on the german and finnish bergmutze are about the same size, short brims and longer folds, except for the feldmutze variants. like the one this anon owns >>65278857 the brim is longer and folds shorter, i personally don't like them at all>>65278857is this from erel? i have the black panzer and brownish late war heer/waffen ss caps in storage but going to probably just toss them in a donation bin
