Civil War Forage Caps: A Review of Several Modern Sutlers Often erroneously called a kepi, the forage cap is distinguished by the taller crown and lack of a prominent welt around the crown disc’s top edge This gives the appearance that someone has sewn a plate into the top of the hat, and the weight of it usually allows the crown to droop forward over the forehead
Civil War Forage Caps: A Review of Several Modern Sutlers Excellent quality, but very poor customer service I waited two and a half YEARS for the kepi to arrive and when it did, it was so small that it fit atop my head like a yarmulke He did replace it (another 4 weeks) and I finally ended up with a kepi that was a fine complement to my officer's cloak coat Got out of the Hobby a few years ago
Civil War Forage Caps: A Review of Several Modern Sutlers I previously had stated that their quality was okay, but the Confederate kepi I got should have been more in the $40-50 price range, not the $95-100 they charge Recently, I began to get disgusted with one of my Dirty Billy's caps because the paint on the visor cracks and starts flaking even when the cap is close to brand new

Civil War Forage Caps: A Review of Several Modern Sutlers Wise Hatter, that 1st pic of the "scout drummer cap" I really don't know anything about the caps I just searched an posted the caps an the links As pictures are important to people here Just like the look of the kepi cap Now the question is would I shell out 125 dollars for one
Now Forming! the Campaign Hat Corps | The Fedora Lounge Being non American I've had little contact with genuine U S Cavalry or Civil War Kepi's hats so post away A while ago I scoured the net looking for pics of Major Allan Wilson and the Shangani Patrol from British South Africa [Rhodesia] best I could get
BK Durable The Wild One One Star Double Rider Always loved the other look, the guy with the US Army kepi (with the cavalry insignia, a nice touch) The other club, led by Chino (Lee Marvin's character), were very representative (and also fed back in as a big influence to them, completing the circle) of how the early Hells Angels MC and other such were already dressing at the time
