Hi!

I have some experience with a caubeen. I purchased mine (an MoD issue in dark green) from Woodsheal a few years back. I am still in love with it, but it IS a sartorial statement. Its a bold bit of headgear. My (now) ex-wife loathes it. Even one of my oldest & dearest friends (a woman) was hard-pressed to be complimentary.

I have a forest green bonnet which more closely resembles a beret and is not as divisive.

Just my two cents...
