Peci
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A peci is a cap of Malay Muslim origin, similar to fez but almost always made of black felt.
In Indonesia the peci has become its national headdress, with secular nationalist connotations, made popular by Sukarno. Peci is worn by male Indonesians in formal situation, wedding ceremonies, or religious holidays such as Eid ul-Fitr.
Peci is also worn (to a lesser extent) in other Malay archipelago countries, notably by the military and police of Malaysia and Brunei on ceremonial occasions.
