A Brief History of German Visor Caps
The visor cap, or “Schirmmütze,” of Germany has held a place in European military tradition for a long time. Worn initially by officers and other soldiers alike across different divisions, the visor cap became a defining feature of military uniforms from the late 19th century through the mid-20th century. Its structured shape, elegant piping, and embroidered insignias symbolized rank, unit, and prestige.
The design changed over the decades-from Imperial times to the early 20th century-each model reflecting a mix of functionality and honor. The peak, soft wool or gabardine crown, and intricate metallic cording that made the caps so iconic denoted the wearer’s position and authority.
At Skylarkinfantry, we pay homage to these traditions by replicating every historical element with modern craftsmanship, ensuring authenticity appealing to collectors, re-enactors, and history lovers alike.
Handicraftsmanship respectful to tradition.
The making of a German visor does not simply involve putting together certain pieces of fabric and accessories. It is a job that requires a lot of precision in minute details. Skylarkinfantry ensures that each piece reflects the same finesse as in the original military designs.
