Austrian knot

An Austrian knot (or Tyrolean knot) is an elaborate design of twisted cord or lace worn as part of a dress uniform, usually on the lower sleeve. It is usually a distinction worn by officers; the major exception is the hussars, in which Austrian knots are worn by all ranks. British cadet under officers wear Austrian knots as part of their rank insignia.
==History==
While of Hungarian origin "Vitéz kötés" in English "Bravery knot", the "Austrian knot" evolved as an indicator of rank among hussar officers of the Austrian (later Austro-Hungarian) Army in the 18th century. Epaulettes were widely perceived amongst the government in Vienna as a foreign influence (due to their French origin) and thus not acceptable for the Austrian armies. In the hussar regiments ranks came to be denoted by braided gold cords on the sleeve, with the number of gold cords representing the rank of the officer. Other branches of the Austrian Army used a system of waist-sashes and collar stars to distinguish commissioned rank.
Austrian knots soon appeared as part of the distinctive dress of hussar regiments in the armies of other European nations but did not gain wider popularity until the last decades of the nineteenth century, when many colonial officers began wearing them (including British infantry officers of the Anglo-Zulu Wars). British officers of most regiments wore Austrian knots of a simplified pattern in gold braid on the cuffs of their full dress tunics〔Encyclopaedia Britannica, Eleventh Edition, page 585, Vol. 27〕 until this order of uniform ceased to be generally worn after 1914.
Along with most other elaborate and conspicuous indicators of rank, Austrian knots fell into disuse during the First World War and were not revived in everyday wear. French officers of North African regiments such as the Zouaves and the Algerian Tirailleurs continued however to wear Austrian knots in gold braid on their colourful full dress uniforms until 1939. They are still worn on some parade uniforms in France, where they are called ''noeuds hongrois'' ("Hungarian knots").
