In the world of military history and ceremonial regalia, gorgets have always stood as a powerful emblem of rank, heritage, and honor. At Skylarkinfantry, we understand that gorgets are not merely decorative accessories but meaningful artifacts that carry centuries of tradition. Our commitment to craftsmanship, authenticity, and durability ensures that every gorget we produce meets the highest standards demanded by reenactors, collectors, and military professionals alike.
What Are Gorgets and Why Do They Matter?
The term gorget originates from the French word “gorge,” meaning throat, as gorgets were initially designed as armor to protect the neck in medieval and Renaissance warfare. Over time, their function evolved from battlefield protection to ceremonial use. By the 18th century, gorgets became symbols of authority worn by commissioned officers, often engraved with coats of arms, national emblems, or regimental insignias.
Today, gorgets remain a key piece of military dress, particularly in formal parades, honor guards, and historical reenactments. Skylarkinfantry keeps this legacy alive by producing gorgets that embody both tradition and modern craftsmanship.
