RPU027
CAP- U.S. WWI "OVERSEAS": ...SMALL (7-1/8)); MEDIUM (7-1/4); LARGE (7-3/8); X-LARGE (7-1/2). Hats will shrink or stretch a full 1/4", so "size" is not critical when ordering (give us your head measurement if in doubt). For custom FIT: to make larger just wet and wear it dry on your head; To make smaller, wet it completely and toss it in the dryer on medium heat, then wet it again and wear it dry to fit your head. Each cap took a "US" disk on left side(RPU005). Overseas hats replaced campaign hats in Europe - it could be folded up and carried in the lower jacket pocket. Soldiers never went "uncovered"(except indoors), so they either wore a helmet or OS cap. Some even wore it under the helmet in winter for warmth with sides folded down over the ears.

RPUHELM
HELMET- M1917, ORIGINAL WWI British/US helmet shells REBUILT and painted OD with NEW liners made especially for GWM. The originals are now in usually too bad a condition to wear, plus you do not want to trash a nice original helmet (they now bring about the same price if in UNISSUED condition, so SAVE your originals). Our liners are special made by one of our WWI collectors. We usually have some in stock. Liners will fit about anyone up to about 7-1/2.
