Russian Napoleonic Uniforms with the Kiwer Shako (from 1812 onwards)

The kiwer shako (sometimes spelled kiver) was introduced into the Imperial Russian Army around 1812, replacing the earlier bicorn and older styles of shakos. It became the iconic headgear of Russian infantry during the later Napoleonic Wars, notably from the 1812 Patriotic War through to 1814. Made popular by officers first then gradually filtered down to the ranks. The kiwer was a symbol of modernization in the Russian army's appearance during the later Napoleonic period, aligning them visually more with Western European armies, while still retaining Russian identity.

Kiwer Shako Features:

Low shako with concave top. Cords and chin scales (brass or sometimes cloth). Covered in oilskin during bad weather.

Infantry Uniform Overview (1812 - 1815):

  • Coat (Kollet): Dark green with red or white facings (depending on regiment); turnbacks in white, collar and cuffs colored per unit.
  • Pants: Grey or white trousers for parade; sometimes covered with black gaiters or boots.

Sprue makeup:

  • 10 figures + 10 backpacks per sprue
