Traditional White Gilgiti Cap/ Feather (Shati or Plume)

Traditional White Gilgiti Cap/ Feather – A Timeless Symbol of Heritage

The Traditional White Gilgiti Cap and Feather represents cultural pride and identity for the people of Gilgit-Baltistan. Locally known as the Pakol, this round woolen cap is an essential part of traditional men’s attire, especially during national festivals, weddings, and cultural ceremonies. Its soft texture and warm material make it both practical and symbolic, especially in the region’s colder climate.

What makes this cap distinct is the graceful Shaati feather, carefully placed on one side. The feather is more than an accessory it is a mark of honor, bravery, and dignity. Worn by men of all ages, it signifies respect for tradition and admiration for ancestral roots.

Each piece is handcrafted by skilled artisans from the region who use age-old techniques passed down through generations. The dedication behind each stitch ensures that every cap maintains its authenticity and cultural value. At Handloom GB, we take pride in preserving this tradition and supporting the artisan community behind it.

The cap’s elegant white color pairs well with both traditional outfits like the shalwar kameez and contemporary styles, adding a refined cultural touch to any look. Whether you’re buying it for yourself, as a meaningful gift, or as a collector’s item, this cap serves as a beautiful reminder of heritage.

This woolen cap with feather is more than just a fashion item—it’s a connection to history, craftsmanship, and identity. Celebrate the spirit of Gilgit-Baltistan by wearing a piece that holds generations of tradition and pride.
