WWI British Soft Trench Cap – Reproduction for Soldiers in the Trenches

The British Army Trench Cap, introduced in 1915, was designed specifically to meet the demands of frontline soldiers—commonly known as "Tommies"—serving in the harsh conditions of the Western Front during the First World War. Made with a soft, collapsible design, the trench cap could be easily folded and tucked into a pocket or haversack, allowing soldiers to wear it when not in combat or helmeted duty. This made it a far more functional and adaptable piece of kit for men on the move in muddy, cramped, and often perilous trench environments.

• Replaced the stiff SD cap with a more practical, soft design suitable for frontline use.
• Easily folded and stored in a pocket or haversack when wearing the Brodie helmet.
• Soft crown construction offered greater comfort during rest and non-combat duties.
• Reflects the no-frills, practical uniform evolution of soldiers in the trenches.
