The Timeless Appeal of the Karakul Cap

The Karakul cap, also known as the Jinnah Cap, Qaraqul Hat, or Diplomat Persian Hat, has long been a symbol of prestige, tradition, and sophistication. Worn by leaders, diplomats, scholars, and cultural icons, this headwear carries deep historical and cultural significance.

A Hat Steeped in History

Originating from Central Asia, the Karakul cap has played an essential role in political, religious, and traditional attire across regions like Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, and Russia.

Today, this iconic headwear continues to be worn at formal events, religious ceremonies, and official gatherings, reflecting its timeless appeal.
