Finnish M65 Field Cap

1940-style winter World War 2 drip but make it not suss :)

“Kuusikymmentäviisi Kentän Korkki” is a helluva mouthful, so we’ll keep it simple and call it as the average joe will remember; M65 Field Cap. The Finnish winter cap, dated 1965 as the name would suggest is an affordable and stylish piece ready to be grabbed to get you through your very own winter war “Sisu,” be it American innawoods LARP, or Canadian, get to work alive and unfrozen. While the cap itself is not World War 2 issue, it resembles the Särmä M36 commonly used by Finnish soldiers during the aforementioned period of conflict. Be sure to get these before they go, as winter is coming, and perkele, it’s (probably) a cold one!
