To make a French kepi, begin by cutting a circular piece of fabric for the top and a band for the sides, typically using wool or cotton. Sew the side band into a cylindrical shape, then attach it to the top circle. Add a stiff brim, which can be made from cardboard or plastic, by sewing or gluing it to the edge of the side band. Finally, embellish with a decorative chin strap and insignia if desired.
