Wear of Cavalry Stetson and Spurs
1. Stetson: The Stetson will be black in color. Only rank and
regimental or ordinary cavalry brass will adorn the Stetson. The braid
will be worn around the base of the Stetson. Troopers will wear the
appropriate braid color. Braid ends or acorns will be to the front of
the Stetson and no more than an acorn length over the brim. Crossed
sabers will be placed on the front of the Stetson. Organizational sabers
are authorized if assigned or affiliated to the regiment. Rank will be
worn 1/8" from the bottom of the sabers, centered. [Note: Units
differ regarding placement of rank versus sabers; some conventional
wisdom deems that "you are Cavalry forever, but ranks change,
therefore sabers should be placed above the rank"]
a. Field Grade Officer: Solid Gold
b. Company Grade Officer: Gold and Black
c. Warrant Officer:
(1)CW4,CW5 - Solid Silver
(2)WO1,CW2,CW3 - Silver and Black
d. Non-Commissioned Officer: Branch Color (e.g. Yellow for
Cavalry, Red for Artillery)
(1) The nape strap will be threaded through the appropriate
eyelets in the brim of the Stetson so that strap goes around the
back and the buckle is fastened and centered on the wearers
head.
(2)The sides of the crown shall not be pushed in or otherwise
modified. The brim will be flat with a slight droop at the
front.
(3)The Stetson will be worn on the head with the brim parallel
to the ground.
2. Spurs: Spurs will be worn as a matched pair. The type of
spurs allowed are set by each unit but most often they are Prince of
Wales style spurs.
a. Low Quarters: The spurs will be affixed to the footgear
midway between the upper portion of the sole and the lower part of
the heel along the seam of the shoe. The U shaped portion shall
enclose the shoe in such a manner as to assure that the rowel of the
spurs curves down to the ground. The strap will be fastened over the
instep of the footgear in such a manner that the buckle faces to the
outside of the foot.
b. Boots: The spurs will be affixed to the footgear so that
the U shaped portion follows the seam of the ankle support. The
strap will be fastened over the instep of the footgear in such a
manner that the buckles face the outside of the boot.
c. Single Soldiers will wear the rowels of their spurs
pointing up, while married Soldiers will do so with their rowels
pointing down.
3. Occasions for Wear: Spurs and stetsons will be worn at all
cavalry functions, otherwise, they will not be worn outside of the
cavalry footprint. Stetsons and spurs may be authorized by the local
command, but are not authorized for wear at Army functions not
specifically dedicated to cavalry. Wear with civilian attire may be
restricted by a local commander, but otherwise the spurs and Stetson may
be mixed with civilian attire when rank has been removed.
