Pakol:
The Pakol (also spelled Pakul ) is a soft, round-topped men’s hat, typically of wool and found in any of a variety of earthy colors: brown, black, gray, or ivory. Before it is fitted, it resembles a bag with a round, flat bottom. The wearer rolls up the sides nearly to the top, forming a thick band, which then rests on the head like a beret or cap.
The hat originated in the Chitral and Gilgit regions of what is now Northern Pakistan. However, its ancestor perhaps is the remarkably similar Macedonian kausia.It gained popuarity amongst the Northeastern Pashtun. It also gained popularity amongst the Nuristanis and the Tajiks of Panjsher and Badakhshan. It is also worn by some Pashtun tribes who live in Kunar and Laghman.
