 U.S. M1855 Forage Cap 

Mexican War

    M1855 US Forage Cap: Dark Blue wool with a branch of service colored welt (piping) around the crown– Dragoon shown at left. Black cotton lining. Earlier Shako style wide brims were typically used. Our brim is 9 ounce supple leather. Also, a smaller brim was introduced– probably to save costs– see Cavalry cap in enlargement. Leather chin strap with brass slide. US Eagle buttons on the side. Shown with optional Cap Insignia.

    Please double check your head circumference before ordering.

    Historical Info: In 1855 when the Cavalry branch was organized, Dragoons were instructed to wear the crossed saber insignia with saber tips "pointed down", where as Cavalry were to wear the insignia saber tips "pointed up".
