🗡Ottoman Soldier ~ Janissary Hat🗡 (Patreon)

I am happy to present you the Hat of the Janissary complete set! 

History of their costumes

Janissaries are commonly depicted as wearing a long tunic, a cloth belt to house their powder horn and sword, a tall bork hat, while carrying a rifle in their hands. The bork in particular seemed to draw attention to the Janissaries because it had a tall, jeweled ornament in the middle of the forehead area and a lengthy tail that goes down the wearer’s back, slightly farther than the shoulders. While there is no literature specifically on the bork, inferences can be made about its importance and uses. Looking at the long tail, this would have been a useful component in order to shade the Janissaries’ neck from the hot sun. Although the tail of the hat has a useful function for the Janissaries, there does not seem to be an obvious answer for why there is a tall jewel on the front, middle area of the hat. There can be a two-parted explanation for the existence of a large jewel on the front of the Janissaries hats. The first potential reason why this piece of jewelry was placed on the bork was that it served as a source of legitimacy for the Janissaries. By wearing a large hat that everyone could see, and with a tall jewel on the front of this hat, the Janissaries were easily recognizable when they were in uniform. The other probable reason is that the large jewel would have matched any turban ornament that the Sultan would have worn, confirming that the Janissaries were of the same household as their powerful master.
