The kepi is a cap with a flat circular top and a visor.

It is the most common headgear in the French Army and the French Gendarmerie -- particulary, the French Foreign Legion, whose members are sometimes called "Kepis blancs" ("white kepis", because of the white covering which is reglementary in this unit).
