Genuine Issue Surplus
KEY FEATURES
This is the genuine British Army combat crap hat, issued for dependable field service.
Military Lineage and Grading
Introduced alongside the Personal Clothing System (PCS), this cap replaced older DPM headwear across the British Armed Forces. Recruits nicknamed it the crap hat during basic training and camp duties. Sourced in solid Grade 1 condition, each cap shows light service wear while keeping full seam strength and original shape intact.
Field Fabric and Weather Shield
The shell is made from a tough polycotton weave that dries fast and sheds trail debris. Inside, a clever fold-down curtain unrolls to shield your neck and ears when chilly gusts or harsh sun strike. Twin metal mesh vents on the crown let excess heat escape, preventing moisture build-up during long treks.
Packable Design and Utility
Unlike rigid peaked hats, this design uses a semi-flexible visor that survives being crushed flat into a smock pocket or rucksack. The official Multi-Terrain Pattern (MTP) blends across varied environments, making this cap ideal for bushcraft, hiking, shooting, and weekend workwear.
Equip your kit bag with this genuine British Army combat cap for dependable all-weather head protection.
This item was used by the British Army during the Modern (2000–Present) and is in Grade 1 condition. It is in very good condition with plenty of life left. We recommend giving it a wash before wearing.

Grade 1 represents solid, fully functional military surplus that has been deployed or issued but remains in great usable condition with plenty of life left.
- Functionality: 100% field-ready. All main zippers, press studs, drawstrings, and buckles work as intended with no critical faults.
- Fabric & Wear: Structurally sound with light cosmetic wear, minor abrasion, or subtle fading from normal military use and laundering.
- Markings & Personalisation: May feature soldier names, unit numbers, service markings, or light depot stamps written on tags or fabric.
- Repairs: May include neat, professional military-standard stitches or minor reinforcement patches that do not compromise gear integrity.
- Storage & Cleanliness: Gear is serviceable straight out of the box, though a standard initial wash or airing is recommended to clear typical military surplus storage scent and minor handling dust.
This multi-terrain pattern blends earthy tones of brown, green, and tan, incorporating distinct brushstroke-like shapes derived from traditional DPM with the color gradient of MultiCam. Designed for versatile concealment across diverse environments, it was developed to replace separate woodland and desert uniforms for consistent effectiveness in mixed operational landscapes, notably in Afghanistan.
