The Robert Lubstein company is better know by its brand EREL. In WW2 the EREL factory was contracted to make hats for the German military and you can still find original war time hats with the EREL mark inside them today. In fact many reference books show original war time hats made by EREL and in these books you can clearly see the EREL brand marks inside them.

Amazingly the EREL company is still making hats in Germany today! so what is better than having a reproduction German hat made by one of the original hat makers in WW2. These EREL caps are made with high quality fabrics just like the war time hats you cant really have any better.

As these hats are made in Germany, under current German laws they are not allowed to sell them with insignia on them. So we have high quality insignia made and we then have a tailor in the UK to expertly sewn the insignia on.

So with this cap you are getting a high quality hat and high quality badges
