Pakol

For the headwear from northern Pakistan also known as khoi, see Iraghi (hat).

The pakol (Urdu: پکول; Shina and Khowar: پاکول) is a traditional soft, flat, rolled-up and round-topped cap originating from the Gilgit and Chitral areas in northern Pakistan. It is typically made of wool and found in a variety of earthy colours, such as brown, black, grey, ivory, or dyed red using walnut. Today it is widely worn in Pakistan, the eastern region of Afghanistan, and parts of northern India.
