Colback and Shako

The colback is a cylindrical headdress covered with black bearskin and was only worn by the elite companies of the hussar regiments. It has a yellow-piped red wool flamme with yellow tassel. In full dress the colback is worn with red plume and yellow cords.

In our regiment new recruits wear a shako. Membership in the elite company, the the privilege of wearing the colback, is granted by performance in the field for our regiment just as it was during the Napoleonic times.
