Headdress- a term that includes both methods of hairstyle itself, and methods of decorating and covering the head.

Both of them in highest degree varied depending on place, era, religion, degree of cultural development. However, the many forms of headdresses are based on several basic varieties.

Story

The root motive for caring about head decoration is functional. First of all, hair, falling in disarray on the face, ears, neck, shoulders, not only causes a general unpleasant sensation, but interferes with seeing, hearing, eating and indirectly - the correctness of work, for example. when hunting, fishing, sewing, fighting, sometimes presenting a serious danger, for example, when passing through dense thickets, when escaping. (See Hairstyle.)

The head is covered not only to secure the hair (frontal bandages, scarves, turbans, bags, nets, wallets), but mainly to protect against climatic and atmospheric influences (from heat, cold, rain, wind). Hence, depending on the purpose and location, there is a variety of forms and material of the head cover.

To keep their hair in order, the South American Teguelga, Ain, Japanese laborer, Pamaki, Hottentots, etc. are content with a simple forehead bandage; in Sumatra, a fighter puts on a wooden ring covering his head for the same purpose. The Batak (also in Sumatra) wear a headscarf in the form of a turban.

The headdress also personified the status of the owner: crowns, tiaras, hoops were (and are to this day) a symbol of power. Richly decorated headdresses could indicate the status of its owner from afar, while the poorer classes often used more utilitarian items.

The headdress finally became a subject of special art, and thanks to its early specialization, the development of headdress forms. even among primitive peoples it reached the most elaborate proportions. Vanity, routine, idleness upper classes, etiquette have turned clothing into an object of the most careful cultivation, a serious concern for life.

An important fact in the history of attire in later periods the influence of the central government and the examples set by individual rulers appeared. Twice in modern times There was a reaction in favor of simplicity of attire. For the first time, she came out of the Puritan movement, which demanded simplicity in the name of humility before God. This movement left a legacy of the custom of having short hair for men and smooth hair for women.

Headdresses of historical peoples

To illustrate the genesis of headdresses, let's look at some of them.

Already known to primitive people whole line Varieties of clothing include fur or leather hats and hoods, tiaras, and headbands.

Greeks

Headgear, used by men only when traveling or for protection from the sun, consisted of caps made of felt, leather or straw and hats with wide brims. The caps were conical (for the Boeotians) or semi-oval for the sailors. The Thessalian felt soft and round cap (petasos) is characteristic, one edge of which was wide, movable, descending like an umbrella; used by hunters, travelers and soldiers. Any headdress belonged only to a free person. Women wore mesh caps, pouches that covered their hair and head and tied at the back of the head. Pointed hats were also in use. Ribbons and tiaras were also used to hold hair together. The most popular types of tiaras were Stefana, similar to the old Russian kokoshnik and calaf, resembling a crown.

Romans

As for women, in ancient times they tied their hair at the back of their heads, using two kinds of needles for hairstyles, one ( discriminations) for detangling hair and others (comotoriae), metal or made of Ivory ending with images of Venus - for fastening hair. The usual head covering was a soft hat with a wide brim, which was used, however, only during games and for protection from the sun. Augustus also wore a similar hat during public celebrations. Sailors and fishermen wore straw, leather or felt hats. During sacrifices, the head was covered with a toga, and the flamens wore a kind of pointed helmet tied under the chin. Wreaths were often used (see Crown).

Women wore a veil (rica), which was fastened on the top of the head and fell over the shoulders; as actual head coverings, like the Greeks, they used kerchiefs or small bags that replaced nightcaps and nets ( reticula), made of gold and silver threads. Newlyweds and matrons wore a light yellow, sometimes red veil on their wedding day ( flammeum).

Gauls And Germans under Louis the Pious and Charles the Red, they began to shave the hair at the temples and the back of the head and wear fur hats. From the beginning of the 12th century, the main head coverings were caps, velvet for the nobility, cloth for townspeople, over which a hood was thrown in bad weather. Young people wore metal hoops decorated with precious stones around their heads. Pointed hats, toque hats, or English hard hats decorated with peacock feathers were also in use.

You can add Velcro to the chevrons. In addition, shoulder straps with buttons are sewn onto this jacket, and two lapel emblems are also attached. How to sew on shoulder straps? For this, in addition to the jacket itself and shoulder straps, you will need a ruler, scissors, a needle, a thimble and strong red thread. Be sure to wear a thimble, even if you are used to sewing without one, as sometimes the needle passes through the shoulder straps with great difficulty, and you can injure your fingers. If you find it difficult to pull the needle and thread out of the shoulder strap, you can use pliers or tweezers. 1) First of all, prepare the shoulder straps, i.e. attach all the required insignia to it, since it will be much more difficult to do this on an already sewn shoulder strap. 2) Take the shoulder strap and position it so that the side farthest from the button is close to the seam that connects the shoulder of the jacket to the sleeve. At the same time, the upper edge of the shoulder strap, directed towards the back, should overlap the seam running along the shoulder by 1 cm. In other words, the shoulder strap should be slightly moved forward. 3) Thread a needle and fasten the shoulder strap to the jacket at three points: at the corners of the shoulder strap, at the place where it comes into contact with the sleeve seam and in the center of the semicircular cut. Now the shoulder strap will be securely fastened and will not move from the correct position during the sewing process. 4) Then very carefully sew the shoulder strap around the perimeter, making stitches in such a way that only barely visible points remain on its surface in those places where the needle enters the shoulder strap, and the thread between two adjacent holes passes mainly from the wrong side (along the lining) of the jacket . Then the thread will not be noticeable even if its color does not exactly match the color of the shoulder straps. In this case, the optimal length of each stitch should be about 1 cm. 5) With the second shoulder strap, follow the same pattern. How to strengthen lapel emblems? On the collar of the jacket - along the bisector (a line dividing the corner of the collar in half), at a distance of 25 mm from the corner of the collar to the center of the emblem, the vertical axis of symmetry of the emblem should be parallel to the flight of the collar. How to place awards on a police jacket? On the left side of the chest, awards are located in the following order: Insignia of special distinction are located so that the upper edge of the medal block is at the level of the ledge of the lapel of the tunic and jacket. When wearing two or more special insignia, they are arranged separately in one row, from right to left, with intervals of 10 mm between the lateral ends of the stars in the order listed. Special insignia of one designation are arranged in the order in which they were awarded. Badges of orders, orders and medals are arranged horizontally in a row from the center of the chest to the edge, from top to bottom in the order listed.

The blocks of orders and medals of the second row must go under the orders and medals of the first row, while the upper edge of the blocks of the bottom row is placed 35 mm below the blocks of the first row. Subsequent rows are arranged in a similar order. Badges of orders, orders and medals are located on a single-breasted police jacket so that the upper edge of the block of orders and medals of the first row is located 90 mm below the level of the lapel ledge. On the right side of the chest, awards are located in the following order: Orders are located from left to right in the order listed.

How to restore DWR treatment on insulated clothing or equipment DWR is a special polymer applied to the surface of the fabric to give it water-repellent properties. DWR processing is not forever. During use of the product, as well as after a certain number of washes, the effectiveness of DWR decreases. If water droplets no longer roll off the surface of the fabric and wet the fabric even after washing, it’s time to restore the splashproof treatment. We recommend using a special spray-on or in-the-machine splash-proofing treatment such as Grangers Clothing Repel or Performance Repel, or Nikwax TX.Direct Wash-In or Spray-On. First, wash the item in accordance with the washing recommendations, then use the selected solution to restore the splash-proof treatment by spraying it directly onto the front of the item while it is still damp, or running a second wash cycle after pouring the required amount of wash-in into the washing machine . The manufacturer's instructions for the splashproof restoration product on the packaging must be followed exactly. Many DWR restoration products require heat activation, so it is best to tumble dry treated clothing and equipment on medium heat (40-60°C) for 40-50 minutes or until completely dry.

The army has always sought to differentiate itself from civilians in its clothing and hats. But unlike civilian fashion, army fashion has always been more conservative... Thanks to this, as well as respect for army traditions, some examples of military uniforms and hats of the armies of the world have survived to this day, which have not changed for almost hundreds of years.

And so, hats in the armies of the world. For convenience, we will arrange them in alphabetical order.

Balaclava– a headdress that covers the entire head, leaving only a small part of the face, such as the nose and eyes, exposed. Named after the city of Balaklava in Crimea. During Crimean War 1853-1856, such knitted helmets protected British troops from the cold. But another name for this item of clothing, a balaclava, was mentioned in print much earlier. In general, this headdress has become known since the 19th century.

Bandana- triangular or square scarf. Bandanas were originally used by American cowboys to keep out dust. They were tied around the neck so that they could be quickly put on the face. In the late 1980s and early 90s in California, bandanas were used as a sign of belonging to a certain criminal group.

Baseball cap It is a soft cap with hard edges and a visor. The history of the cap began in 1860, when players of the Brooklyn Excelsiors team began wearing it. By 1900, this headdress had become popular. In 1940, the modern baseball cap was born. The visor became much shorter and the hat became more comfortable. Currently, baseball caps have become a popular wardrobe item not only for athletes, but also for the military.

Beret. The modern beret comes from the traditional hat of the Pyrenean shepherds. Industrial production of this headdress began only in the 17th century in the south of France. And by 1920, berets were already produced by more than 20 French factories. The beret is part of the uniform of many military units of the armies of the world.

Capless cap- uniform headdress (cap without a visor) for soldiers, sailors, some junior commanders, and students of naval schools of a number of armies and navies. In the Russian army and navy since 1811. In 1872 Russian fleet Ribbons were introduced onto the caps, which indicated the name of the ship or the number of the naval crew. In 1921, a standard uniform for military sailors was approved.
Over time, the cap has undergone only minor changes. Instead of the name of the ship, the name of the fleet or naval school appeared on the ribbons. The peakless cap is a Russian national headdress. Many found its appearance beautiful and attractive; foreign sailors were so impressed by it that the Russian visor cap soon won recognition in all the navies of the world. American sailors wear visor caps that are more like Panama hats. Red pom-poms on the white caps of French naval sailors are a long-standing tradition. Previously, ships had cramped rooms with low ceilings, and the pompom protected the sailor's head from hitting their ledges. Now the ship's premises have become more spacious, but the tradition of using a red pom-pom on the white caps of French naval sailors has still been preserved.

Glengarry(Glengarry). A cap flattened from the sides (like a cap), decorated with two ribbons attached at the back and a small pom-pom sewn on top. Usually sewn from thick woolen fabric. According to legend, Glengarry was invented by British Colonel Alexander Reneldson MacDonnell of Glengarry at the end of the 18th century. The prototype for the new headdress was the national Scottish balmoral beret, also decorated with ribbons and a pompom. Glengarry was originally worn with work uniforms as a military headdress in the British Army. Glengarries later became popular with the British Army due to their practicality and ease of wearing. Also, glengarry began to be worn as the main headdress of the bagpipers of the Scottish regiments. Glengarries are usually black or dark blue in color, modern military glengarries are always dark blue. Today, Glengarry is worn by many Scottish regiments of the British Army.

Confederate- a quadrangular headdress in the Polish army known since the 18th century.

Keffiyeh(other possible spellings are kaffiya, kafiyah and keffiyeh) is a traditional Arabic headdress for men. Typically made from a piece of cotton, it looks like a scarf, sometimes with tassels at the ends. It was folded diagonally and tied on the head in a variety of ways using an agal (a loop or ring of thick twisted cord) or a ribbon. Most often, this headdress can be found in arid areas; it is worn to protect the head from the sun, and the eyes and mouth from dust and sand. Actively used in the armed forces of many countries.

Kepi is a type of cap with a flat round crown and a small visor. The kepi was originally the most common headdress in the French army. Its predecessor appeared in the 1830s during the occupation of Algeria, and was a lightweight reed frame covered with fabric. Later, cheapness made the cap the most popular military headdress, starting in the mid-19th century. Currently, the cap has changed somewhat and has become a very popular headdress.

Corps cap Marine Corps USA
(utility cover, utility cap, eight-pointed cover). Also used by the Navy and US Coast Guard.

Bear hat. The famous hats of the British Royal Guards are made from the fur of the North American grizzly bear. Officers' hats are taller and shinier. The fact is that they are made from the fur of a male, and the hats of privates and non-commissioned officers are made from the fur of a female grizzly bear (it does not look so impressive). But the hats of ordinary guardsmen, which, so to speak, are inherited, from demobilized soldiers to young conscripts, serve for almost a hundred years, so members of the Animal Welfare Society can rest assured about the number of bears.

Pakol, pakul or chitarli. Pakul gained great popularity among the Pashtun tribes at the beginning of the 20th century, largely due to the bulkiness of turbans.

Papakha. In the Russian army, this headdress appeared in 1817 in troops leading fighting in the Caucasus. However, at that time it was just a fur hat. Since 1855, the papakha was the headdress of the troops of the Caucasian Corps and all Cossack troops. It was usually sewn from astrakhan fur, sheepskin or bear fur. An order of 1871 by the Military Department introduced a black hat made of smushka or merlushka (lamb skin) with a height of 15 to 25 cm. And in the Siberian and Orenburg Cossack troops, the so-called Trukhmenkas were adopted - shaggy hats of the Turkmen type. To the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-1905 in active army They wore hats made of black lamb fur. In 1913, on the eve of the First World War, the entire army switched to hats. They were made from gray smushka, and were developed and introduced back in 1910.
In the Red Army, the hat was abolished for ideological reasons (“this is an attribute of the tsarist troops and the White Guard”) (as well as shoulder straps). But not for long. By order of the People's Commissar of Defense of the USSR dated April 23, 1936, it was reintroduced - however, only for the Don Cossack units. But already on February 1, 1941, by order of the military people's commissar, this Cossack hat was again canceled: from October 1, 1941, the army was supposed to begin the transition to new types of uniforms. Papakha in her modern form was introduced in 1940 for marshals and generals.
And in 1943, colonels were able to try it on. The hat was excluded from the list of items of equipment for defenders of the Fatherland in 1994 by Yeltsin’s decree, which then introduced a new, current uniform for military personnel. President Vladimir Putin returned the hat to the army in 2005.

Cap(garrison cap, side cap, wedge cap, field service cap). It is believed that the cap first appeared in the Austrian army in late XIX century. The prototype for it was the national Serbian shajkacha hat, which was worn by detachments of Austrian Serbs who attacked the Turkish border territories. In the Russian army, the cap was introduced during the First World War as a headdress for pilots. It could easily be hidden in a pocket and worn instead of a helmet after the end of the flight; a cap was not suitable in this case. For this reason, the cap (from the word pilot) was originally called a flight cap or flight cap. Over time, the cap became the uniform headdress of various military and paramilitary (pioneers, cadets, scouts, etc.) formations.

Field cap(patrol cap, field cap) - a soft cap with a hard, rounded visor and a flat top, which military personnel of some countries use when a combat helmet is not required

Fisherman's hat(bucket hat, fishing hat, beanie hat). It is a soft cotton hat with a wide brim that slopes downward. Most often, several holes are made in the crown, as a result of which ventilation occurs, and it is not so hot in the hat. These hats are used by the US Navy and Army, as well as in the armies of other countries. We call such a hat a “Panama”, although this is not entirely true.

Terai(terai). It is a hat for sun protection, with wide brims and ventilation in the crown, most often made of felt. This hat gained immense popularity in the late 19th century. Used as an alternative to a tropical helmet. Now these hats are worn mainly by units of the Nepalese Gurkhas.

Topee. A helmet with a wide brim and a hemispherical crown. Often has a chin strap and a pommel in the form of a small pike or emblem. Usually made from cork or plant fibers, and covered with fabric on top. The colonial helmet appeared in the British army in the mid-19th century during wars with other European powers over their colonies in the tropics and armed uprisings in India. The colonial helmet was later used by the Americans during the Vietnam and Korean wars. Today, the colonial helmet is an element of the dress uniform of some army units of Great Britain and the countries of the British Commonwealth.

Tam o shanter(tam o shanter). Traditional headdress in Scotland. Round hat with a tight-fitting band around the head and a soft, voluminous top. The top of the head is usually decorated with a pompom. They wear it twisted to one side. British and Canadian infantry began wearing khaki tam-o-shanters during World War II. In conditions of trench warfare, such a beret was the most practical alternative to another headdress - the Glengarry. Modern tam-o-shanters, worn by a variety of Scottish regiments, are distinguished by emblems and feather plumes of various colors. Now found only as the headdress of Scottish regiments in the British Army, and in some military units of Canada.

Turban(turban) - men's and women's headdress among the peoples of Asia and North Africa - a sheet of light fabric wrapped around the head. The turban is usually wrapped around a skullcap, fez or hat. Its production usually requires 6-8 meters of fabric, but some types of turbans require up to 20 meters of fabric. The turban is now worn in many armies where Sikh Hindus serve.

Ushankas are considered a traditional headdress in Russia. Ushanka is made of fur or sheepskin and is intended to protect against the cold. In 1934, the hat with earflaps took on the look familiar to everyone until now; it began to be worn by the Naval Forces of the Workers 'and Peasants' Red Army. A black hat with earflaps consisted of an okol, a black cloth cap, a visor and a nape with headphones. In the lowered position, the headphones are tied with a braid, and in the raised position they are tucked into the back of the head. In accordance with the order of the People's Commissar of the Navy No. 426 of October 20, 1939, the cloth cap was replaced with a leather one, and a leather-covered button was also added. The hats of senior and senior command personnel were made from black merlushka fur, and the hats of mid-level command personnel and long-term service personnel were made from black tsigeika fur. Since 1940, the earflap hat has become the winter headdress of the army and police. The headdress was made of light sheepskin, although in the navy earflaps remained black.

Cap(forage cap). Headdress with a high crown, band and visor. Usually it is decorated along the band and the upper edge of the crown with a special belt, welt and cockades attached to the crown and band. The cap got its name from the word “fodder” (feed for horses). The fact is that the first caps appeared during the Napoleonic wars, and they were worn by Russian, Prussian and British cavalrymen who were searching for feed for horses. Today, the cap, in its various forms, is part of the military uniform of the armies of many countries around the world. It should be added that in Great Britain and the countries of the British Commonwealth the term forage cap is also used to refer to a cap.

Ranger Hat(campaign hat). These hats are also called sergeant hat or boy scout hat. A wide-brimmed felt hat, with a high top, symmetrically pinched on four sides, thus forming a peak in the center - the "Montana Peak". Initially, the top of the hat ended with a regular fold, but due to heavy tropical rains, the design of the hat was changed for the sake of practicality: water does not linger in the “Montana folds.” Today, these hats are worn by the Royal Canadian Police, the New Zealand Army, the US Armed Forces, US law enforcement agencies, and the Boy Scouts.

Pill hat(pillbox hat). A small brimless hat with a cylindrical crown; often completely flat, with a small groove encircling the center of the crown. It's hard to believe, but until recently, a pillbox hat, complete with a chin strap, was a military headdress. It is still used in this capacity in some countries of the British Commonwealth.
