[1][2]French Army kepiThe kepi is a cap with a flat circular top and a visor (American English) or peak (British English). Etymologically, the term is a loanword of the French képi, itself a respelled version of the Alemannic Käppi: a diminutive form of Kappe, meaning "cap". In Europe, this headdress is most commonly associated with French military and police uniforms. In North America, it is usually associated with the United States Civil War, as it was worn by soldiers on both sides of the conflict.

- A kepi is a type of hat used in the uniforms of soldiers from the French Foreign Legion. Usually white with a black brim, the kepi often has a long white cloth called a havelock behind it to offer the wearer protection from the sun. When worn by commanding officers such as Colonel Guizot, the kepi is often black with gold trim and a white havelock.
