Pashteen hat
The Mazari cap (Dari: کلاه مزاری) or Pashteen hat (Pashto: د پښتين خولۍ) is a red-and-black-patterned hat originating from the Mazar-i-Sharif city of Afghanistan, worn across Afghanistan and parts of Pakistan.[1]
Originally associated with the Hazaras, Uzbeks, Turkmens and Tajiks of Afghanistan, the hat gained widespread popularity among the Pashtuns after 2018 because of the rise to prominence of Manzoor Ahmad Pashteen, the leader of the Pashtun Tahafuz Movement (PTM), who usually wears it. The hat became a symbol of PTM and Pashtun nationalism.[2]
