This black leather Kepi was donated.
Leather is not a material usually associated with Kepi's at least ones wanting to be historically accurate, this one, however, was purchased by Larper so the need to authentic was not as important as the look it provided.
Not a very British hat, although they were worn by male uniformed British Rail workers in 1960 to 70;s perhaps we envied French rail at the time.
Kepi history and facts have been covered in my blog previously, so I won't add any more today other than what's above.
A robust functional leather version of a Kepi.
