Custom cap maker Slangvel has introduced a new variant of his mesh patrol hat made by adding full ear coverage via a flap. Additionally, the underside of the brim is done in black.
He hasn’t posted these on eBay yet, so Facebook, it is.

Slangvel is a custom hat maker who specializes in modern-era military headwear. He is also a disabled Veteran. Somehow he comes up with some great camouflage fabrics and every once in a while he catches my eye with something like this French Lizard Pattern. One of his specialties is the M43-style cap, which has been adopted at one time or another by several armies. In fact, they are still used by the Germans.
In addition to M43s, Slangvel also makes Boonies, Rhodesian-style kepis, Bigeards, Helmet Covers and the occasional Smock. To keep track of what he has for sale, follow him on Facebook or eBay.
Many of you may remember Slangvel for his custom boonie and M43 hats he sells on eBay. Occassionally, he also makes smocks and generally in the South African Defense Force Slangvel or “snakeskin” style. That name derives from the high tenacity fabric used to reinforce high wear areas which reminded wearers of snake skin.
This time, he had some Austrian camo fabric and decided to make a South African style Para Smock. In fact, this one is available right now on eBay.
Slangvel is now rolling out his M43, Patrol, and Recce hats in MultiCam Arid. The Patrol hat is currently up on the Slangvel eBay store page, with the M43 and Recce to follow soon.
Slangvel will soon be offering his M43, Patrol hat, and Recce in MultiCam Tropic, a pattern heavily influenced by the ERDL camouflage pattern.
Tactical milliner Slangvel is offering South African Defense Force-style Pattern 87 helmet covers. They incorporate a fold down bill and a hi-viz panel at the rear that can be covered by a flap. First up is MultiCam. Looks like ACH cut. Below are some photos of originals.
Slangvel has his line of M43 and Recce hats now available in Highlander, Nomad, and Mandrake Kryptek patterns on his eBay store. Additionally, he’s started production on patrol caps, examples shown above, which will be available soon.
