Reproduction

Wartime British commandos used it in place of noisy helmets. This is, in fact, a scarf made from a 'tube' of knitted wool, sewn at both ends. By pushing one end through the tube to the other end a long cap is made. Rolling up the open end produces a 'cap'. The first of these multipurpose items appears to have been issued in 1900, although it may go much further back. The idea was to provide some warmth under the steel helmet of 1916 or perhaps even earlier.
