WW2 Canadian British Army Officers Peak Cap Chin Strap

The WW2 Canadian British Army Officers Peak Cap Chin Strap is a period military uniform accessory used by officers in both Canadian and British forces during the Second World War. Constructed from black or brown leather or patent-finish material, the chin strap features a twin-buckle or single-buckle fastening, allowing adjustable fit to the service cap. Metal attachment buttons or clips are located at each end, designed to fasten securely to the cap’s sides above the brim. The chin strap served both a functional and insignia role, ensuring the peak cap remained in place during field activities or parades, while also contributing to the officer’s formal dress appearance. Variations in design may exist according to specific manufacturing contracts and national requirements within Commonwealth forces. The item is a representative piece of uniform hardware from the era, illustrative of the period’s standard issue equipment for army officers. Condition, material, and markings may vary by individual example.
