Canadian Airborne Regiment Robin Hood Cap Hat Dated 1966 Size 6 1/2

The Canadian Airborne Regiment Robin Hood Cap, dated 1966, is a distinctive item of military headgear used by the Canadian Armed Forces. This cap is characterized by its unique pointed, slashed design, earning it the nickname “Robin Hood” cap among collectors and military personnel. It is made of green wool, consistent with issue materials of the period, and features a size marking of 6 1/2. The 1966 date stamp situates the cap within the early years of the Canadian Airborne Regiment, formed in 1968 but preceded by the development of specialized equipment and uniforms during the 1960s. The Robin Hood cap was part of the regiment’s initial uniform ensemble, intended for both practical and ceremonial use. This example represents cold war-era Canadian military design, and its markings provide reference for collectors or researchers interested in airborne or paratrooper history in Canada.
