Exterior in light brown wool with a chocolate brown band and a traditional high peak, with matching chocolate brown piping along the top edge and flanking either side of the band. There is a silver with red, white and blue enamelled Ustasha insignia on the peak, with a silvered aluminum second pattern (M1942) NHD field cap badge below on the band. The silver bullion chin cords are appropriately knotted at either end, designating the wearer to be an officer, and are attached to silvered buttons on either side. The vulcanfibre visor has a smooth black patent leather-look upper and has a black synthetic underside.
