  • While Supplies Last: Christmas Kepis

    I'm pleased to offer to you a selection of Confederate kepis.

    This batch of caps follow two styles- The Anderson Arthur Crews kepi and the Richmond Depot style kepi.

    The Crews kepis are denoted by stock number beginning with "AA." These caps feature a plain, dark brown, leather visor, leather sweatband, non-functional chinstraps, and simple linings made of various stripes, plaids, and plain osnabergs. Many of the plain linings are made from antique/vintage feedsacks. The Crews kepi was worn by a member of the 29th Alabama Infantry (AoT) and can be seen on page 163 of the Confederate edition of Echoes of Glory. Fabrics are mostly jeans by Ben Tart.

    The Richmond Depot kepis are denoted by a stock number beginning with "RD" and feature a tarred, cloth covered pasteboard visor, leather or tarred cloth sweatbands, non-functional cloth chinstraps, linings as described above in the Crews kepis. A text book example of a Richmond Depot kepi can be seen on page 156 of the Confederate Echoes of Glory. Fabrics are mostly jeans by Ben Tart.

    The Crews kepis are $95.00, the Richmond Depot kepis are $115.00. But there's more.

    Shipping on these caps is FREE ($5-$6 value)

    Each cap features original 19th C coin buttons, gilt/flower buttons, or bone buttons FREE ($10-$12 value- these buttons vary from cap to cap.)

    And there's more, but now for the stock, grouped by size.

    7 1/8 Kepis



    7 1/4 Kepis




    7 3/8 Kepis




    7 1/2 Kepis




    To reserve or ask questions about a specific kepi, please refer to the stock number.

    Respect the dead; but you -- you draw
    That ancient blade, the ass's jaw,
    And shake it o'er a hero's grave.

        "...And to Missouri we
        Extend both heart and hand
        And welcome her a sister
        Of our Confederate band
        Tho surrounded by oppression
        No one dare deter
        Her adding to our Bonnie Blue Flag
        Her bright and twelfth star! "

        Lyrics, Bonnie Blue Flag, by Harry McCarthy, 1861.
