Officer's Branch Trim (Officer's Hat Cord and Branch Insignia) For:
US Forage Cap M1872: Our reproduction

It was officially used until 1888.Top quality wool, polished cotton lining with leather brim and sweatband with correct size leather chin strap
(1/2" for 1872 and later caps) with brass slide buckle. The M-1872 cap is shorter in height than the
Civil War era Kepi caps. Because of this, the cap tends to ride quite high on the head-giving one the sensation
it will slide off.
The 9 ounce leather brim is available without edge binding or with edge binding added.
Enlisted Insignia at right are correct pattern for 1872 and later and may be ordered below. For Officer's,
order our US Officer's embroidered badges.

Officer's Civil War & Indian Wars
Hat Cords
Hand Twisted
This is the Officer's Hat cord
for the Hardee hat and Slouch Hats. Regulations call for a Gold and Black
hat cord for all officer's except Generals who wear all gold, with the gold
being gold bullion. It was used for both the Civil War & Indian Wars. There is also a Non-Regulation Hat Cord of Gold Bullion and Branch Colors
available for Officer's of the Artillery, Cavalry and Infantry.
Staff and Field Officers, Regulation: Black Silk and Gold Bullion
hat cord. On some of these the acorn is reversed with a gold bullion tip and
black netting. This hat cord is available either in machine braided or hand
twisted. The hand twisted is thicker cording.
General Officers, Regulation: Gold Bullion hat cord for all
Generals.
Artillery, NON-Regulation: Red Silk and Gold Bullion hat
cord.
Cavalry, NON-Regulation: Yellow Silk and Gold Bullion hat
cord. This one looks very much like the Generals and you have to look close
to see that there is yellow silk and it is not all gold bullion.
Infantry, NON-Regulation: Light Blue Silk and Gold Bullion
hat cord.
