Busby
Busby is the English name for the Hungarian prémes csákó or kucsma, a military head-dress made of fur, originally worn by Hungarian hussars. In its original Hungarian form the busby was a cylindrical fur cap, having a bag of coloured cloth hanging from the top. The end of this bag was attached to the right shoulder as a defense against sabre cuts. In Great Britain busbies are of two kinds: the hussar busby, cylindrical in shape, with a bag; this is worn by hussars and the Royal Horse Artillery; the rifle busby, a folding cap of astrakhan formerly worn by rifle regiments, in shape somewhat resembling a Glengarry but taller. Both have straight plumes in the front of the headdress. The popularity of this military headdress in its hussar form reached a height in the years immediately before World War I. It was widely worn in the British, German, Russian, Dutch, Belgian, Bulgarian, Romanian, Austro-Hungarian Serbian, Spanish and Italian armies. Possibly the name's original sense of a "busby wig" came from association with Dr Richard Busby, headmaster of Westminster School in the late seventeenth century; the later phrase buzz wig may have been derived from busby. An alternative explanation is that the British hussar cap of the early 19th century was named after the hatter who supplied the officer's version - W. Busby of the Strand London. The modern British busby is worn with full dress by bands, the Royal Horse Artillery and ceremonial detachments at regimental expense. In its hussar version it is now made of black nylon fur, although Bandmasters still retain the original animal fur.
