    Rob,
    Greg Starbuck built mine from material I supplied. First rate.

    I've had Dirty Billy make me a cap out of material I supplied.
    He was more than happy and I'm sure most cap makers would feel the same.

    Other than the self purchased uniforms worn when entering the service how likely would it be that the cap and jacket would match? Even now if you don't buy enough from one bolt of material you might not be able to match using the "same" cloth from the same mill.

    RL Kelly & SA Miles Co. are also another great source for custom made kepis.

    thanks for the tips, and with a understanding of the issue system at the time, i do have just enough to make a kepi, or two. not enough for much else.
