Canadian Forces Green Beret Size 7 1/8 Dated 1989

The Canadian Forces Green Beret, size 7 1/8, dated 1989, is a standard-issue military headgear associated with certain units within the Canadian Armed Forces. The beret is constructed from wool and features a deep green color, which is distinctive to the regiments authorized to wear it, including some infantry, armored, and special operations units. The interior of the beret is lined, and this example bears manufacturing information indicating production in 1989. A leather or synthetic band typically reinforces the rim, providing durability and helping the beret retain its shape. The size designation of 7 1/8 corresponds to a head circumference of approximately 57 centimeters. This beret does not include cap badges or insignia, which were customarily added by the issued unit or individual member. As a dated uniform item, it reflects the style, materials, and specifications set by the Canadian military supply system at the end of the Cold War period.
