Stay warm with a genuine piece of Scandinavian military history. Originally introduced as the Swedish Army m/1909 Pälsmössa, this classic winter cap was designed to protect soldiers from Sweden's harsh winter climate. Built for warmth, durability and practicality, the design remained in military service for decades and became well known after being worn by members of the Swedish Volunteer Corps during the Finnish Winter War of 1939–1940.
Constructed from heavy wool with an insulated lining, the cap provides excellent protection from cold weather. Fold-down ear flaps shield the ears and neck from icy winds, while the traditional military design offers both comfort and timeless style. Many original examples also feature an adjustable rear strap and a fold-away leather visor, depending on the production year and manufacturer.
As genuine military surplus, every cap is unique. Original military issue stamps, manufacturing markings and minor signs of service add character and authenticity, making each one a distinctive collector's item.
Perfect for military surplus collectors, historical re-enactors, outdoor enthusiasts or anyone looking for an exceptionally warm winter hat with genuine military heritage.
