There
are a few extant ID’d Confederate McDowell style forage caps. Our reproduction
has a simple, iron dyed brim and functional chinstrap. You have your choice of
cloth.
*Measure the
circumference of your head using a soft tailor’s tape measure. Take the
measurement starting about a thumb width above the eyebrows running above the
ears and around the head, essentially where you want to wear the cap. Have
someone else take the measurement for you if possible.
