What is confederate officer hat?

Confederate officer hats, also known as kepis, were a type of military cap worn by Confederate soldiers during the American Civil War. They were typically made of wool or leather and had a flat crown with a wide, curved brim. The color varied depending on the unit and rank, with officers often sporting gold braid or insignia on the front. The kepi was considered a practical and stylish alternative to the traditional military hat of the time and remains a recognizable symbol of the Confederate army.
