gorgets
Since ancient times, gorgets have remained an unshakable sign of authority, honor, and artistry. On the fields of medieval battles, during ceremonial parades, these unique elements of military attire symbolized bravery, rank, and tradition. Skylarkinfantry is proud to continue this tradition by supplying high-quality gorgets that marry historical accuracy with contemporary craftsmanship. Whether a military buff, collector, historical reenactor, or connoisseur of classic design, our gorgets are crafted to capture history with unparalleled accuracy.
The Heritage of Gorgets in Military Heritage
The word gorget comes from the French term gorgerin, “throat.” Gorgets were originally armor items worn to defend a soldier’s neck during combat. During medieval periods, a well-made gorget was an integral component of a knight’s plate armor, protecting one of the most exposed areas of the body. With the development of firearms and the impracticality of heavy armor, gorgets changed from battlefield requirement to ceremonial attire.
By the 18th century, gorgets had also become a symbol of rank and command within European military forces. Commanders wore these gleaming metal plates over their uniforms as a conspicuous badge of command. Even now, ceremonial units and honor companies worldwide make use of gorgets as part of their dress uniform, linking contemporary forces to their heritage.

At Skylarkinfantry, we have the philosophy that a gorget ought to be something greater than an accessory—a symbol of military heritage respect. We have our artisans put careful attention into every gorget they make to ensure accuracy and preservation of tradition.
