However, it is perhaps best known to English speakers as a word for the 19th century Polish cavalry headgear (Polish: Czako), consisting of a high, four-pointed cap with regimental insignia on the front. Sometimes feathers or rosettes were added to it. After the Polish lancers proved their effectiveness during the Napoleonic War, armies across Europe quickly adopted the concept of the lancer regiments, complete with the czapka as their headdresses.
In 1914 czapkas were worn in full dress by all Imperial German, Austro-Hungarian, British, Belgian and Russian lancer (uhlan) regiments.
