The Qaraqul Hat, also known as an Uzbek Hat, is a traditional style of headwear historically associated with Central Asia, particularly the city of Bukhara.
The hat is traditionally made from the curly fur of the Qaraqul breed of sheep. This material is commonly known as Astrakhan, broadtail, qaraqulcha, or Persian lamb.
Featuring a distinctive peaked shape, the hat is designed to fold flat when removed, making it convenient for storage and travel. Its classic appearance and traditional construction make it a distinctive piece of Central Asian-inspired headwear.
