Worn by soldiers on both sides, the "kepi" or
"forage cap" has become one of the most enduring
symbols of the conflict.
The Forage Cap was the standard
issue cap or "bummer" first adopted by the Army
in 1858. Inspired by the headgear of the French Army,
the forage cap went on to become the most identifiable
symbol of the Union and Confederate soldier during the
Civil War.
This deluxe Officer's Kepi

Gray wool cloth. The visor is made of leather, and is
accented with brass buttons. This beautiful replica Confederate
Infantry Officer's Kepi is also lined in silk and is available
