Civil War Confederate Enlisted Man's Richmond Clothing Bureau Butternut Kepi | Authentic Reproduction

Step into the pages of American history with the Civil War Confederate Enlisted Man's Richmond Clothing Bureau Butternut Kepi — a faithful reproduction of one of the most iconic pieces of Confederate military headwear from the War Between the States (1861–1865).

The Richmond Clothing Bureau was the Confederacy's primary clothing manufacturing agency, responsible for producing standardised uniforms and equipment for Confederate enlisted men throughout the war. This kepi replicates the style issued directly from the Bureau — crafted in authentic butternut, the distinctive yellow-brown dye derived from black walnut husks that became synonymous with the rank-and-file Confederate soldier when grey wool grew scarce.

Constructed with careful attention to period accuracy, this kepi features the classic low-profile forage cap silhouette worn by enlisted infantrymen across the Confederate States of America. The butternut colouring, period-correct construction stitching, and authentic brim shape make it an ideal choice for Civil War re-enactors seeking regulation-compliant kit, as well as collectors and living history enthusiasts pursuing museum-quality reproductions.

Whether you're taking part in a major re-enactment, building a period-accurate uniform display, or adding a prized piece to a Civil War memorabilia collection, this Richmond Clothing Bureau kepi delivers the historical integrity and craftsmanship that serious hobbyists and historians demand.
