Product Overview
These Civil War Hat Insignia are accurate reproductions of the large embroidered branch insignia worn by soldiers during the American Civil War. Designed to identify branch of service at a glance, these insignia were commonly displayed on forage caps and kepis as part of standard military dress.
Each insignia is embroidered with metallic thread on a black or gray oval velvet background, closely matching the materials, texture, and appearance of original 19th-century examples. The bold embroidery and contrasting background ensure clear visibility while maintaining period-correct construction and style.
Suitable for Union or Confederate impressions depending on branch and background selection, these hat insignia are ideal for reenactments, living history events, museum displays, and historically accurate uniform builds. Their size and detailing make them a standout feature on any Civil War cap, adding authenticity and visual credibility to your uniform.
Whether completing a soldier impression or enhancing a collection of Civil War insignia, these embroidered hat devices provide the correct finishing detail expected by serious reenactors and historians.
