In Masonic Knights Templar tradition, the structured, visor-front "kepi" or "fatigue cap" is typically worn during general meetings, informal lodge events, or warm summer months as an alternative to the formal, feathered Chapeau. Design Features: These antique or custom pieces are typically built using black felt, wool, or rayon. They are distinctively detailed with silver or gold vinework braiding and an embroidered emblem featuring the iconic Knights Templar Cross or a crown patch.
