Afghan Pakol Cap Chitrali 100% Wool Handmade Black Chunnat Pakul Hat for Men For Sale

This Pakol features a distinctive **Chunnat / gathered pleated design** and traditional Pakol construction. The natural wool provides warmth while allowing the cap to remain flexible and comfortable when worn.
Each cap is handmade, so natural variations in wool texture, folds, fibers, thickness, and shape may occur. These variations are part of the character of a traditional handmade wool Pakol.## SIZE & FIT
### Natural Wool = Flexible Fit
This Pakol is made from **natural wool**, which has natural stretch and flexibility.
The opening can look smaller when the cap is measured while relaxed, but the wool **gently stretches and adapts to the shape of your head when worn**.
### Important
**Please select your size according to your HEAD circumference, not the relaxed measurement of the cap.**
For reference:
**Our head measurement: 55 cm / 21.7 inches**
A Pakol opening measuring approximately **20 inches / 51 cm when relaxed** can still fit comfortably because of the natural flexibility of the wool.
### Recommended Size Guide
| Size | Recommended Head Circumference || ------------------ | ------------------------------------- || **Medium** | **52–56 cm (20.3–22.0")** || **Large** | **57–59 cm (22.4–23.2")** || **60 cm / 23.6"+** | **Please message us before ordering** |
### How to Measure
Use a soft measuring tape around your head where you normally wear a hat, approximately above the eyebrows and around the widest part of your head.
**Do not use the relaxed opening measurement of the Pakol as your head size.**
Because this is a traditional wool Pakol, the fit is **flexible rather than rigid**. Individual fit can vary slightly depending on head shape and how the Pakol is worn.
