FAQs

A kepi is a flat-topped, visored military cap that became standard headgear for Union army troops during the American Civil War. Adapted from French military designs, it features a sunken crown that slants forward towards a stiff leather peak.

Authentic mid-19th-century kepis were constructed from dark blue wool cloth lined with cotton or silk, featuring a stiff polished leather visor and a leather chinstrap secured by small brass buttons.

Authentic period caps exhibit natural fabric aging, hand-stitched interior linings, period-correct brass buttons with maker marks, and natural patination on metal components. Modern reenactment reproductions typically use machine stitching, synthetic thread, or modern metal stampings.

Military headwear displays effectively when mounted on a wooden or glass millinery stand inside a glass cloche, or arranged within a deep shadow box frame on a study bookshelf or console.

Store the item in a climate-controlled room away from direct sunlight to prevent wool fading and leather cracking. Use acid-free tissue inside the crown to maintain its shape, and avoid applying harsh chemical cleaners to the leather visor.
