    While Supplies Last: Interesting forage cap for sale

    Folks,

    Up for auction at the Heritage Auction website is this fascinating Confederate forage cap. I had to see if I could make one and I think it came out wonderfully.

    This repro is for sale, its a 7 1/4 and runs $125 Ppd. It fits more like a kepi that's about in inch taller than usual kepis. Its a really neat cap, when I can get to it, I'd like to make more of them.

    The cap comes with a date/research sheet I made up.

    If you are interested, email me at cwkepi@earthlink.net

        Fellas,

        I just received this cap from Greg and it is outstanding in pattern, materials, and construction. The research sheet that came with the cap (included in photos) is a nice touch. This is yet another top notch clone from the best cap maker around. If Greg decides to do a run of these, don't hesitate!

        cheers

          Rob,

          Hold on tightly to that cap...I have a feeling more than a few guys may want to get their hands on it come 2011...

            This is a really neat cap. North Carolina did some really interesting headgear. (assuming NC did this one which I think it did).

            I am taking orders for this cap.

                Greg,
                just got the re sized kepi today. outstanding as is the norm. I think I'm going to wear it for Sharpsburg, if I can get some fade on it.

                  I received my cap today and I must say that it is amazing. Mr. Starbuck has again outdone himself with the detail put into his work. This is by far the best cap I have ever owned.

                      Rob,

                      Yes, it is so well done. I cannot wait to wear it.

                      Maybe we should do rock-paper-scissors with Bryant to see who gets to wear it at Sharpsburg.

                        Why none of these in larger sizes for those of us with larger brain capacity? Huh?

                          Received my 'Williamson' cap from Greg.., it is awesome! The construction and the materials used are quite simply superb! Greg's attention to detail is extraordinary, the man is an artist, I love this cap and it fits perfectly!

                          Thank you Greg!
