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".
