The Quillai: A Traditional Hat with Cultural Significance and Practical Use

Quillai (also spelled kilay or kelay) is a traditional hat worn by men in some parts of the Middle East and Central Asia, particularly in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Iran. It is a soft, round cap made of wool or cotton fabric, usually with a small brim in front and a high crown in the back. The quillai is often decorated with embroidery or other forms of ornamentation, such as tassels or pom-poms.

In some regions, the quillai is worn as a symbol of cultural identity and heritage, while in others it is used as a practical piece of headwear to protect the wearer's head and ears from the elements. The quillai has also been adopted by some fashion designers as a stylish accessory for men and women.
