Kyrgyz male hat called “kalpak”. Usually, this hat is made of white felt and adorned with embroidery designs. It is a high-crowned narrow-brimmed hat. There are kalpaks for various seasons – thicker felt or sheepskin is used for winter and thin felt is good for summer. This headdress is very convenient because it can be folded flat, so you can easily carry it in your bag or pocket.

Kyrgyz folk headdress for unmarried girls called “tebetei”. It’s trimmed with fur and decorated with feathers at the top.

Pure white headwear of Kyrgyz women. It is called “elechek”. Many meters of fabric are wound around the head to create this unusual wimple-like headdress.
