The peci or songkok or kopiah is a cap widely worn in Indonesia, Brunei, Malaysia, Singapore, the southern Philippines and southern Thailand, mostly among Muslim males.
Peci has the shape of a truncated cone, almost always made of black or embroidered felt, cotton or velvet. It is ordinarily worn with the traditional outfit for men.
It is also worn by male in formal situations such as wedding feasts, funerals or festive occasions such as the Muslim IdulFitri and Idul Adha.
