Recreate the distinctive headwear of the American Civil War era with the COMMANDO US Civil War Forage Cap, also known as a Bummer cap. Inspired by nineteenth-century military headwear, this reproduction features the characteristic shaped crown and projecting peak associated with traditional forage caps. It is suitable for historical reenactments, costume events, theatrical productions and military history collections.

The cap features a wool upper, complemented by a black peak and matching black chinstrap. Gold-coloured side buttons and an embroidered crossed-sabres emblem on the crown complete its military-inspired appearance. The lined interior provides a finished look, while the structured shape helps maintain the cap’s recognisable historical silhouette.

Its traditional styling makes this cap a distinctive accessory for American Civil War-inspired outfits, period displays and military history collections.

There are no specific Australian laws that directly ban the display of Confederate battle items, but thier display could be problematic in certain contexts. It is considered a symbol of hate speech and may be removed or prohibited in government-funded workplaces or by institutions that do not want to be associated with it. Its display could also lead to issues in public, such as being asked to remove it by private business owners who consider it offensive.
While we do not condone hate speech in any way, we acknowledge that there are other uses and meanings for this item.
