Item Description
Original Item: Only One Available. This is a fantastic Civil War Union Officer’s Federal Chasseur Pattern Kepi that features fabric of very fine blue wool broadcloth. The crown stands nearly 3 ¼” high at the front, 5” at the rear seam and the top is 5 ¼” in diameter, stiffened with a pasteboard beneath the lining. The body of the cap meets a band of wool seamed only at the rear and stiffened with leather. The cap's interior is lined with lovely brown/gray cotton and is still mostly intact. The leather sweatband is 1 5/8" wide and is presented with cracking and a fragile touch. The flat visor is original to the hat, and composed of tarred leather with minor creasing. The leather chinstrap is secured on the side with two Federal Eagle “I” Infantry buttons.
The kepi no longer retains manufacturer information on the interior lining. This is a wonderful example that would be difficult to upgrade from.
Comes more than ready for further research and display.
