The janissaries were the sultan’s elite military corps under the direct command of the agha. Five times a year, the agha received a new uniform made of expensive materials such as brocade, velvet and satin, often trimmed with gold. His shoes, most always short boots, might be either red, yellow or purple. His tall turban was of velvet.
