All about Iqal and how to wear it

Arab culture is distinguished by many unique styles, such as cooking, architecture, textiles, and fashion. Over the centuries, the Arab countries, especially the countries of the Near East, adopted their own clothing, reflecting their way of life and customs. Among these various fashion statements is the iqal, an important accessory highly coveted by Arab men.

Iqal: What is it?

Extremely popular among Arab men of all ages and classes, the Iqal, also known as the Igal, is a dress accessory designed with a black cord tied to a goat wool core. The iqal is designed for its practicality and keeps the Keffiyeh or Ghoutra on the head to protect you from the sun.

In general, it is attached in a single loop folded into two contiguous rings whose diameter can be adjusted according to the size of the head which optimizes comfort and stability.

How can you wear your Iqal?

The Iqal is designed to be worn on top of your Keffiyeh or Ghutra in order to hold it properly and to provide you with maximum comfort and protection. But it is also aesthetic. Because of its black color, it matches perfectly with a variety of Keffiyeh regardless of their styles or colors.

Additionally, there are two types of Iqal: The simple Iqal and the Iqal with tarboucha (string). This last model contributes even more elegance to your Keffiyeh or Ghutra. Moreover, besides its decorative side, it can be coated with perfume.

Depending on the size of your head, you can choose from several sizes, from S to XL. We guarantee that your Iqal will be ideally suited to fit your head and that you can wear it comfortably. For more information, we invite you to our site, custom-qamis.com.
