    Default The Louisville cap?

    A quick Google search yielded no results for The Louisville cap. What y'all are describing sounds something like French gendarmes or the French Foreign Legion wear (kepi blanc). If anybody has a picture of this almost forgotten hat, feel free to post it, or a link.
    No signature required, my handshake is good enough.
