Songkok

The Songkok, also called Peci or Kopiah, is a hat worn by men in many Southeast Asian countries like Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, southern Philippines, and southern Thailand. It looks like a cone and is often made of black or fancy felt, cotton, or velvet. People wear it on special times like weddings, funerals, and holidays such as Christmas and Easter. In Indonesia, it is also linked to the nationalist movement.^[1][2][3]

In Sumatra and the Malay Peninsula, it is called "songkok", while in Java, it is called "kopiah" or "kopeah". In Indonesia, it is usually called "peci", though the peci might be a bit different, being more oval-shaped and sometimes decorated.^[4][5]
