Adjutant General's Corps ALS Forage Cap

The ALS forage cap is dark blue with dark-blue welts and a scarlet band carrying a central 1 cm dark-blue stripe.

The common male-officer forage cap is cloth with three cloth welts, the upper welt lying in the crown seam.

The common male-officer forage-cap sides are made in four pieces and are 2⅛ inches deep between the welts.

A 1¾-inch cloth or velvet band is placed between the two lower welts of the common male-officer forage cap.

The common male-officer forage-cap chinstrap is ½-inch black patent leather, secured by two buttons immediately behind the peak corners.

The common male-officer forage-cap peak is patent leather, droops at an angle and is 2 inches deep at the centre.

The common soldier forage-cap rule uses dimensions similar to the officer pattern and adds crown stiffening; the generic plain-peak rule remains subject to any more-specific authorised rank or unit treatment.

At a 21¾-inch head circumference, the common male-officer forage-cap top is 10½ inches in diameter; its diameter changes by ⅛ inch for each ¼-inch change in head size.

The common male-officer forage-cap badge, whether metal or embroidered, is placed centrally on the band.
