Из "Справочника по ПМВ" Philip J. Haythornthwaite

Head-dress included the burnous for Arab unbits, but the regilation fez or fur tarboosh (kalpac) (grey astrakhan for officers, with facing-coloured cloth crown) was usually replaced on service by a greyish-khaki cloth helmet styled a kabalac or enverieh ('Enver Pasha helmet'). This most singular item was originally a loose turban stitched into shape, named after Enver who copied it from the Italian sun-helmet and reputedly made a fortune from its patent; later it was constructed by folding the cloth around a light, plaited straw framework.

Kстати, после ПМВ действительно сперва ввели кепи без козырька. Вот картинка из Кнётелей и Зига
