Military uniforms speak a language of honor, discipline, and tradition. Every detail matters—from the buttons to the badges—and among the most striking ceremonial accessories are gorgets. Though small in size, gorgets carry centuries of military history and continue to symbolize authority, leadership, and ceremonial excellence.

At Skylarkinfantry, we design and manufacture premium-quality gorgets that respect historical tradition while meeting modern ceremonial standards. Our gorgets are trusted by military units, ceremonial guards, reenactors, and collectors across the world.

What Are Gorgets?

Gorgets were originally designed as protective armor for the throat and upper chest during medieval warfare. Over time, as battlefield armor faded, gorgets transformed into decorative military insignia worn by officers and ceremonial personnel.

Today, gorgets are worn primarily as:

• Ceremonial uniform accessories

• Symbols of command and authority

• Historical and regimental identifiers

They are usually suspended around the neck or chest and decorated with engraved emblems, unit insignia, or national symbols.

The Historical Evolution of Gorgets

The journey of gorgets spans hundreds of years. In the 14th and 15th centuries, gorgets were essential battlefield armor. By the 17th century, their practical use declined, but their symbolic importance increased.

During the 18th and 19th centuries:

• Gorgets became officer-specific insignia

• European armies adopted them for ceremonial wear

• Military police and guards used gorgets to show authority

Today, gorgets remain deeply rooted in military tradition, especially during formal parades and official duties.

Why Gorgets Still Hold Importance Today

Even in modern military and ceremonial contexts, gorgets remain relevant for several reasons:

1. Visual Authority

Gorgets instantly signal leadership and command, making them ideal for officers and ceremonial supervisors.

2. Ceremonial Elegance

They add a refined and dignified appearance to dress uniforms during parades, inspections, and formal events.

3. Historical Continuity

Wearing gorgets preserves military heritage and honors the traditions of past generations.

4. Professional Identity

For reenactors and collectors, authentic gorgets reflect accuracy and respect for history.
