Everything to know about the Chachia

Currently worn by many men in Muslim countries, the chachia is a flexible traditional headgear originating in Tunisia and Libya.

History of Chachia

In many countries, the Chachia has long been worn with a keffiyah. The chachia is traditionally designed with combed wool, which designers knit to make the caps. The wool is compressed and crushed with hot water and soap. After completing this process, they commence with carding, dyeing, and shaping the wool. After this is completed the finishing touches are added.

The Chachia today

Nowadays, the Chachia is generally made light and porous so that it is worn in the most comfortable way possible. In general, the chachia is mostly used practically, since it allows the keffiyah to be correctly held on the head so that it is stable and does not slip. However, the chachia is also worn alone in many Muslim countries, including Algeria, Morocco, Egypt, etc.

Because the Chachia is not designed to conserve warmth, it can be dressed for all kinds of occasions, whether for prayer or daily use. Moreover, it’s an important accessory for any Muslim man. Even if the white is prime, it still exists in several different colors. For added comfort, you can find a high-end Chachia made of thicker, top quality material and elastic for a better fit atop your head.
