Çuhadars, who are called by this name because they wear clothes made of woolen cloth, are among the palace servants. They were separated according to their services such as regiment çuhadar, messenger çuhadar, and sultan çuhadar.
When the Agha went to the Divan, his dress and the harness of his horse did not differ from those of the vézirs. On this occasion, the Agha was preceded by guards (yassaktchis) dressed in red coats (kaftan) and wearing belts of gold thread.
