The bashlyk was introduced into the uniforms of the Russian Empire's army in the 19th century, influenced by Caucasian traditions.

It was made of thick wool and protected soldiers from cold, wind, and snow.

Its hooded shape and long ends allowed it to be wrapped around the neck and chest.

It was worn over a military cap or directly on the head, especially in cold regions.

Over time, it became a distinctive element of the 19th-century Russian soldier's silhouette.
