DID YOU KNOW...?
          The question of whether a Union officer would have had black silk braid on his kepi or gold braid has come up several times. We have referenced the 1861 Regulations for the U.S. Army and have found no specific information concerning officer’s kepis at all. However, a reprint of Schuyler, Hartley & Graham’s 1862 Catalogue of Military Goods clearly shows a private purchase officer’s kepi available “with gold, or silk braid”. Since most officers privately purchased their uniform items this reference is the best resource to support our reproductions.

          Dear Customer, Below is a quote from the 1861 U.S. Army Regulations regarding the Hardee hat. This information is meant to assist you in your impression. Verify with your unit for their input on how they prefer to wear the Hardee hat. Some Infantry units wear their hat with the left side up. We have seen originals this way. Please let us know which you want, Sincerely, The Regimental Quartermaster

36. For Enlisted Men - of black felt, same shape and size as for the officers, with double row of stitching, instead of binding, around the edge. To agree in quality with the pattern deposited in the clothing arsenal.

47. For Enlisted Men, except companies of Light Artillery - the same as for officers of the respective corps, except that there will be but one feather, the cord will be of worsted, of the same color as that of the facing of the corps, three sixteenths of an inch in diameter, running three times through a slide of the same material, and terminating with two tassels, not less than two inches long, on the side of the hat opposite the feather. The insignia of corps, in brass, in front of the hat, corresponding with those prescribed for officers, with the number of regiment, five-eighths of an inch long, in brass, and letter of company, one inch, in brass, arranged over insignia.

49. All the trimmings of the hat are to be made so that they can be detached; but the eagle, badge of corps, and letter of company, are always to be worn.

Havelock

Made of white cloth, the havelock was used to cover the cap and soldiers neck to shield him from the sun. They are attributed to Sir Henry Havelock of the British Army during the Sepoy Rebellion in India in 1857.* These were mainly used early in the war as soldiers came to realize they were actually hotter with air circulation cut off around their heads. Great for an early war impression. Get ready for Manassas now!
