Rogatywka
''Rogatywka'' (; sometimes translated as '' peaked cap'') is the Polish generic name for a peaked, four-pointed cap used by various Polish military formations throughout the ages. It is a distant relative of its 18th-century predecessor, the ''konfederatka'' (so-named because of use by members of the Bar Confederation), although similar caps have been used by light cavalry since the 14th century. It consists of a four-pointed top and a short peak, usually made of black or brown leather. Although rogatywka (derived from ''róg'' which means "horn" or "corner") in English seems to mean the same as czapka, the word ''czapka'' in Polish designates not only rogatywka, but all caps (not hats).
