How to Measure Your Head
- Grab a soft measuring tape or a piece of string (like twine or a shoelace) and a ruler or measuring tool
- Wrap a soft tape or string around your head to measure about 1/4 to 1/2 inch above your ear and about 3/4 to an 1" inch above your brow line (see image)
- Mark the tape or your string, where it intersects, with your finger.
- Record your measurement in inches or centimeters (centimeters is often more accurate)
- If you're using a string, run it along side the ruler as many times as necessary to get a complete measurement
- MEASURE AGAIN!
- Always measure more than once until you get the same number twice
- Find your size in the chart for the perfect fit

The Spanish–American War U.S. Army M1895 Enlisted Forage Cap – Kepi Style Replica represents an important transitional period in U.S. military history. Introduced in the late 1890s, the Model 1895 forage cap was worn by enlisted soldiers of the United States Army during the Spanish–American War of 1898 and subsequent overseas service.
Derived from earlier Civil War–era forage caps, the M1895 pattern featured a more refined kepi-style profile with a structured crown and circular visor. This design offered practicality and comfort for daily military duties, particularly in warm climates such as Cuba, Puerto Rico, and the Philippines, where American forces were deployed during the conflict.
The M1895 enlisted forage cap was primarily worn for field service, daily duty, and informal military activities rather than full dress occasions. It reflects the U.S. Army’s shift from 19th-century uniform traditions toward a more modern military appearance at the turn of the century.
This replica forage cap is produced with attention to historical proportions and styling, making it suitable for wear or display. Manufactured in our own facility, minor adjustments—such as sizing or small detail changes—can be accommodated upon request without additional cost. Larger custom orders or special requirements can also be arranged.
This kepi-style forage cap is ideal for Spanish–American War reenactors, U.S. military collectors, museums, historical displays, educational presentations, and film or theatrical productions. Whether worn or displayed, it offers a faithful representation of late 19th-century U.S. Army enlisted headwear.
Packaging & Delivery
Each cap is carefully packed using protective materials to preserve its shape and structure during transit, ensuring it arrives in clean, secure, and display-ready condition.
