The typical Confederate Infantryman's headgear consisted of the slouch hat or the military Kepi. Many soldiers, including officers, preferred the slouch hat. The hat was a soft, wide-brimmed woolen body covering, designed to shield individuals from the sun and harsh weather conditions. Typically made from brown, gray, or black wool, this versatile hat saw extensive use across Confederate Armies and even among U.S. Army personnel. On occasion, soldiers adorned their hats with personal insignia and pinned them up for drill practice using the standard weapon of the time, the rifled musket.
