Lovely caps Charles. I particularly like the workmanship on the képis which were all hand-made.Thanks, I collected French items for years. I really enjoy the uniforms worn by the French on the outbreak of WW1 and the transition to horizon blue. Your general’s kepis are wonderful. I have 2-3 embroidered kepi but think all but one in storage. I need more room to display my 4 generals uniforms.
Here’s one that Ive put away.

Another kepi and this one is my favorite in my little French Collection.

And did it have the desired effect?Just for comparison, a replica I picked up a few years ago that was in a tote box at Aberdeen for 20 bucks. I wore it while on vacation in France as a conversation starter. Regards John Josef
