A visored military cap is a type of headgear worn by soldiers and officers in the military. It is typically composed of a stiff material, such as leather or felt, and has a visor to protect the wearer's eyes from the sun. The two most common types of visored military caps are the SHAKO (5 letters) and the KEPI (4 letters). The SHAKO is a tall, cylindrical cap with a visor and a plume, while the KEPI is a smaller, rounder cap with a visor and a flat top. Both styles of visored military caps are often decorated with insignia and badges to denote rank and unit.
