Mle 1884 Kepi of the 144th Regiment of Line Infantry in Bordeaux
Manufactured in France c.1910, size 58, madder red cloth with black leather and red-painted brass ventilation tacks.
France’s regular guy’s military hat from 1884 to 1914, I’d probably wear one if not for the reason they switched them out. Too showy.
