The Ottoman Naval Uniforms in Mahmud II Era.

      Аннотация: Mahmud II removed janissary corps, who were corrupted and prevented progress of state, and set about installing a western-style military in 1826. He succeeded this aim despite to all obstacles and all accusing. Sultan Mahmud II, who wanted his new armed forces not to be European only with its weapons and organization but also with appearance, made dress reform. According to this reform fez, pants and setre were adopted instead of quilted turban, salwar, kaftan and bolero. The purpose of this book is to examine new Ottoman naval uniforms in Mahmud II era and where these uniforms were influenced from.
