Over the course of centuries, gorgets have stood for braveness, rank, and discipline in military uniform. Originally, a necessary component of armor to defend the throat in combat, gorgets eventually came to be sophisticated insignia that stand for authority and honor. Nowadays, Skylarkinfantry carries this on, producing handmade gorgets that combine traditional artistry with contemporary craftsmanship.
At Skylarkinfantry, each gorget is crafted not just as an ornament but as an eternal symbol of pride and service. Our craftsmen carefully reproduce both classic and ceremonial designs that capture military precision, regal sophistication, and unparalleled authenticity.
The Historical Significance of Gorgets
The gorget traces back to medieval Europe when steel collars were worn by knights as protection against sword blows. As time passed and armor was no longer required, the gorget evolved into a ceremonial decoration — a badge of authority and bravery.
By the 18th century, British, French, and Prussian officers were all wearing gorgets as outward symbols of rank. During the 19th and 20th centuries, gorgets remained important in military uniform, especially in dress uniforms and ceremonial attire.
Skylarkinfantry continues this honorable tradition with elegant craftsmanship that honors the historical character while meeting contemporary ceremonial demands. Whether for reenactments, museums, or official parades, our gorgets capture the legacy of leadership and distinction.
