Caubeen Cap and Boots Bronze Resin Commemorative Statue

Description

The Caubeen and Boots Bronze Resin Statue from John Bull Clothing is a poignant tribute to the distinguished heritage of Irish military service. This finely crafted piece features a pair of well-worn boots topped with a traditional caubeen, symbolising the enduring spirit and sacrifice of Irish soldiers.
The caubeen, derived from the Irish word cáibín meaning “little cape,” has been a distinctive element of Irish military attire since the early 20th century. Originally adopted by the London Irish Rifles during World War I, its use spread among Irish regiments, becoming a symbol of pride and identity.
The caubeen is typically worn with a regimental cap badge and a coloured hackle—a feather plume – that signifies the wearer’s regiment. For example, the Royal Irish Regiment dons a green hackle, while the Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers wear a grey one
Mounted on a polished rosewood base, the Caubeen and Boots statue stands approximately 180mm tall, including the base, and measures 140mm in both length and width, with a base height of 20mm . This piece serves as a meaningful keepsake for veterans, serving personnel, or military enthusiasts, commemorating the vital role of Irish soldiers and their distinctive attire. 
All statues come with Free Engraving (no regiment badges – purely text only). Please specify text during Checkout when prompted
