Shako is a type of military headgear that was popular in the 19th century. It is a tall, cylindrical hat made of stiffened felt or leather with a metal plate on the front and a plume on top. The term shako is derived from the Hungarian word csákó, which means 'CAP'. The shako was worn by many European armies, including the British Army, during the Napoleonic Wars. It was also worn by some American soldiers during the War of 1812. The shako was eventually replaced by the more practical kepi in the mid-19th century.
