Rogatywka (sometimes translated as peaked cap) 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 19th century predecessor, often called czapka in Polish. It consists of a four-pointed top and a short peak, usually made of black or brown leather.

Rogatywka is national, historical sign of Polish Army (only polish army used this hat on the world now)

It usually comes in two variants: the hardened version is used in full gala uniforms, while the soft version is used for garrison and field (only to 1994 year, replaced since this year by beret)
