*British, Highlander HAT013 Green Wool Beret Cap, Size L, Leather Band*
A modern commercial military-style beret by Highlander, model HAT013. Constructed from 100% wool with a black lined interior, this example follows the classic British “commando” style with a relatively compact crown. Finished in green wool and fitted with a black leather headband.
The internal label remains present and reads:
“100% WOOL / BERET CAP / HAT 13 / MADE IN INDIA / DRY CLEAN ONLY / SIZE L.”
It retains its internal drawstring adjustment for minor size tuning. As with other Highlander examples, this is a commercial rather than issue beret, widely sold through surplus and outdoor retailers for cadet, reenactment, costume, and general outdoor use.
Approximate fit corresponds to a Large.
History Note:
Highlander berets such as the HAT013 are commercially produced items rather than military issue, but are widely used by cadet organisations, reenactors, and for general outdoor wear. Their design closely follows British Army-style beret patterns, including the leather band and drawcord system, making them a practical and affordable substitute for service examples.
*Condition*
Good used condition overall. Light to moderate bobbling to the wool consistent with wear, but no significant damage noted. All ventilation eyelets remain intact. The leather band is sound and the beret presents well. Please see photographs as part of the condition report.
