The standard Confederate is all (top, side and band) in a solid color
wool. This kepi is available in medium grey wool, Richmond grey wool, Cadet grey wool or Wool Jean. There
is no brass slide on the chinstrap. Cotton lined with “CSA” side buttons.
The uniform regulations adopted by the Confederacy in 1861 specify a chasseur style
cap having grey colored top and sides and a specific colored lower band to indicate the branch of service.
The caps were supposed to have a colored "pom-pom" on the top. From observations of originals,
it appears very few of these caps were ever made. There is no brass slide on the chinstrap. Cotton lined
with “CSA” side buttons.
In early 1862 Confederate Uniform Board changed the color scheme of the caps to the
style most often seen in museums (other than the all grey): for the 1862 Regulation Kepi, the top and sides
of the cap are in the branch of service color wool and all caps are to have a dark blue band. There is no
brass slide on the chinstrap. Cotton lined with “CSA” side buttons.
Other color combinations can be made based on documentation.
Branch of Service Colors: Artillery - Red, Cavalry - Yellow, Infantry - Sky Blue or
French Blue, Militia - Black.

General Jackson
Forage Cap: a fine reproduction of the cap given to General Thomas J.
(Stonewall) Jackson by his wife Anna in early 1862. The original cap is at
the VMI Museum in Lexington, Virginia and is now faded to an almost tan
color but still shows some evidence of it's original cadet grey color. Based
on research by George Moor, a foremost authority on General Jackson, it
appears the cap may have faded early in it's existence, possibly even while
the General wore it.
Our cap is made using our top quality cadet grey wool and lined with black
polished cotton. The dark blue band receives a 1/2" gold lace and is then
sewn to the cap. The leather brim has a thin strip of leather binding the
front edge. Adjustable leather chin strap with Virginia State Seal buttons
on the sides.
General Jackson Forage Cap "faded": we also offer the cap
in a "faded" version. Due to the high quality dye used in our Cadet Grey Wool, the cadet
grey color will not fade out like General Jackson's original cap. Our top quality tan wool is used
in the "faded" cap. Everything else is the same.
Professor Jackson VMI Forage Cap: to complete
the Jackson we offer the cadet cap used when Jackson was at the VMI. It is
an exact copy of the dark blue forage cap the was used at 1st Manassas. This
cap has the smaller 1/2" chin strap and is without a buckle, just like the
original.
Colonel Randolph’s Forage Cap:
reproduction of Forage Cap worn by Colonel George W. Randolph of the First
Virginia Artillery. Cadet grey wool with black cotton lining. Crescent style
brim with edge binding. US Eagle side buttons. Appropriate rows of gold Flat
braid copied from the original cap located at the Museum of the Confederacy.
Leather chin strap (5/8”) is adjustable.
