Czapka (, plural:
czapki) is a
Polish and
Belarusian generic word for a
cap. However, it is perhaps best known to English speakers as a word for the 19th century
Polish cavalry headgear, consisting of a high, four-pointed cap with regimental insignia on the front (full name in Polish:
czapka rogatywka, initially:
konfederatka) to which feathers or
rosettes were sometimes added.
