Where can I find an image of the Belgrade McDonald's logo?
I have heard a bit different "legend" about the name: Both the riverboats and a cap were named after a gull (Shaika, similar to Russian Tchaika), common inhbitant of Danube area. The cap has the top similar to gullwing-therefore the name. History: It is part of a military uniform sets which were imported into Serbia from Austro-Hungary during the rule of Obrenovic dynasty (it is assumed that it was standard uniform there at the end of the 19th century). Caps of similar, although somewhat changed shape (with foldable top - which resembling gull wings) were, and perhaps even today are, in use in some European armies, most notably german and russian.

It's essential for an item of clothing that you give a description of the item, what materials are used, size, colour, how is it made, who makes it etc.
Fixed.
Done.
I've ammended this to the cap was "the typical cap of peasants."
Yes, all the gravestones had sculptural depictions of the hat. This instance is notable because it shows to what extent the cap was considered a nationalist symbol. If the wording is unclear, can you please suggest how it should be reworded for clarity?
I'm currently working on finding some better pics. Regards,

I've added two new photos, both of which are clearer than the old ones.

That's better. Can you find some information about the hat itself?♦ Dr. Blofeld 10:00, 21 August 2013 (UTC)
I've come up with a "Design" section and sourced it. What do you think? 23 editor ( talk) 14:22, 21 August 2013 (UTC)
Better, thanks, although the ones in most of the pictures look olive green/ khaki, typical military uniform in colour to me rather than grey. Could you find out what material they're made from and who makes them?♦ Dr. Blofeld 16:09, 21 August 2013 (UTC)
The lead also needs a summary of it.♦ Dr. Blofeld 18:54, 21 August 2013 (UTC)
How's this? 23 editor ( talk) 19:03, 21 August 2013 (UTC)
Looks fine.

Looking in google books and finding very little of substance, I think you've done a very good job in writing a credible article on this and demonstrates the strength of wikipedia on notable but unconventional encyclopedia topics.♦ Dr. Blofeld 20:01, 21 August 2013 (UTC)
Thank you very much for reviewing the article. Cheers, 23 editor ( talk) 20:25, 21 August 2013 (UTC)
I listed it under warfare in a new section for military uniforms and clothing OK?♦ Dr. Blofeld 21:04, 21 August 2013 (UTC)
Sure. 23 editor ( talk) 22:24, 21 August 2013 (UTC)
Does (Deliso 2009) really say that it's worn in Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro? In my experience, "native" usage of this cap is confined exclusively to Central Serbia. Sure, there might be isolated people elsewhere who worn it, and it certainly got re-popularized in 1990s, but before that it was not worn outside of Serbia proper. Specifically, rural Montenegrins would wear a Montenegrin cap, hardly ever a Šajkača. No such user ( talk) 11:36, 22 August 2013 (UTC)
