Etymology

The term 'kepi' originates from the French word 'kรฉpรญ', which refers to a type of military cap. Its design can be traced back to the early 19th century. The kepi became widely associated with French soldiers, particularly during the Napoleonic Wars. The flat circular top and the stiff visor were designed to provide shade and protection from the sun while maintaining a disciplined appearance. Over time, the kepi spread to other military forces around the world, adapting in style and materials. The kepi remains a symbol of military heritage and is often seen in parades and formal military events.
