Etimology and history
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.

Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro
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)
 * Good point. Deliso says "The sajkaca has been Serbian men's national hat since the eighteenth century and, unlike other traditional dress, is still worn by old people in the countryside." I'm assuming this means the Serbian countryside. The bit about Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro comes from the old version of the article before I rewrote it. Thanks for picking that up. 23 editor (talk) 16:07, 22 August 2013 (UTC)
