Confederate headgear was to be the chasseur cap, or "kepi", a French military cap. This is worn either on the beret or embroidered on the front of the kepi. Many Confederate units wore unique versions of the kepi. More commonly worn is the light blue and red kepi of the French cavalry. The uniform is dark blue, with a kepi bearing a blue and white plume. The kepi was formerly the most common headgear in the French Army. The conductor wore a kepi and the driver a hat of varnished leather. The original kepi cover was khaki and due to constant washing turned white quickly. A grey and red kepi was substituted for the North African fez. Full dress uniforms were topped with the historical kepi in elaborate designs. Boy is wearing an old rebel soldier kepi cap that he found at the river. It replaced the WAACs' distinctive "Hobby Hat" kepi for field use and fatigue duties. In Sweden, the kepi has been used with several uniform types. The red kepi had a white plume with a red base. Officers' ranks were shown by gold or silver braiding on the kepi.
