New, long enough, DYK check all clean, well reffed, good to go. In the future, a companion article on the bearskin helmet it replaces seems like a useful addition. Maury Markowitz (talk) 16:03, 12 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the review Maury Markowitz. I'm also working on the Albert shako and the Albert bonnet. But yes, plenty of opportunities for new articles in 19th-century British Army headgear! - Dumelow (talk) 16:47, 12 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
