Hello dear customers. I present to you:Vintage Army NAVY Peaked Cap Tape Black Sea Fleet USSR Soviet A.
What is the meaning of the ribbons on sailors' peakless caps? What task are they performing? When did these ribbons first appear in the navy?
Caps without a visor for sailors are made specifically to reduce sailing, so that they are not blown away by the wind. Although peakless caps were worn not only by sailors, but also by infantry in the tsarist army. But according to the remarks of sailors, peakless caps are more of a dress uniform than an item of everyday wear. In the navy, they prefer caps.
What's the point of ribbons? It is believed that they first appeared in the early 19th century in memory of the deceased Admiral Nelson at the Battle of Trafalgar, which he won. They are a sign of mourning, therefore black. Although there are other explanations for the origin of the ribbons. They appeared in the Russian fleet only after 1857, and were approved by the Charter of 1874.
But ribbons also have functional meanings: they bear the name of the ships or fleet where the sailor serves. It's more convenient and practical.
Nowadays ribbons are of different colors, not necessarily black. The ribbons of the guard ships are orange-black.
Also, ribbons are used to prevent the peak from being blown away by the wind during a storm. Sometimes ribbons are tied around the neck. But most sailors say, so that the cap does not blow off, the ribbons are clamped with their teeth, and only girls tie ribbons.
