Rogatywka is the Polish generic name for an asymmetrical, peaked, four-pointed cap used by various Polish military formations throughout the ages. It is a distant relative of its 18th century predecessor, konfederatka (because of use by members of the Bar Confederation), although similar caps has been used by light cavalry since 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 = horn, corner) in English seems to mean the same as czapka, word 'czapka' in Polish designate not only rogatywka, but all caps (not hats).
