# 833 Captain's Kepi with Infantry Officer's badge, deluxe edge bound brim and optional braid added just above the band.
Made using our quality 19oz dark blue field service wool with black braid and cotton lining. Progressive rows of braid on the top, side, front and back of the cap indicate rank above 2d Lieutenant. There is no braid on a 2d Lieutenant's cap. Optional extra cost items include adding same number of rows of braid horizontally around the cap just above the band- see lower photo for example.
A thin leather binding can be added to the front edge of the brim for a more finished look. A small gold embroidered badge denoting the branch of service is available at an extra cost, and we can hand sew the badge on the front of the cap if you wish. (Note... The addition of the optional band braid must match the rank of the cap you have chosen.) By US Army Regulations, Generals and Colonels both wore 5 rows of braid on their caps- corresponding to that on the Cloak Coat sleeves. Generals would wear a badge on the front with start denoting their rank. Colonels would wear a badge denoting their branch of service.
All US Officer's Caps are custom order- Please allow 4-6 week delivery. To avoid fitting problems, please double check your head circumference measurement before ordering.
