The French Kepi of WW2 era is shaped like a stiff, round "pill-box" or the shape of a hat-box. The general shape is close to a "base-ball cap" with a bill in front. The sides are stiff and the top is flat. The bill is also flat.
The military version was usually dark blue with a red top. There was usually an embroidered emblem, such as a grenade, on the center front. The top had lace; the more ornate the higher the rank. The French Foriegn Legion wore a pure white one or a white cover. Civilian police and other government agencies wore a stiff kepi that was black with some white lace or trim.
The Kepi worn by the US soldiers during the American Civil War was a crushed version of this. There were different styles but the most common style was loose material that did not stand up at all and the bill was curved. The early kepi's worn by the French during the 19th Century was similiar.
