The Bigeard cap (Шаблон:Lang-fr) is a field cap worn by the French Army and several others. It was allegedly invented by French General Marcel Bigeard[1][2] to replace the colorful and less practical colored headgear worn by the French Army in its war in Indochina.

The Bigeard is a cloth field cap with a short cloth peak. Originally produced in lizard,[3][4] it was later produced in olive green and various camouflage patterns to include,[5] forest,[6] and desert.[6] The cap is more of a peaked sidecap and is available with or without neck flaps for sun protection.[6]
