The Tunisian chechia , also known as the chachia or chachiya, is a well-known headwear throughout the Mediterranean world. This hat, a close relative of the beret, is the national hat of Tunisia. In June 2018, Tunisian fans honored their country by cheering on their national team during the FIFA World Cup and promoting Tunisian culture, notably through the chechia, a red wool hat in the color of the national flag!

The making of the chechia was considered a refined art obeying strict traditional principles.
Traditionally, the Tunisian handcrafted chechia was made from combed wool, then knitted by the women who made the kabbous hats.

Generally the spinning of the wool takes place in Djerba or Gafsa, then the knitting is relegated to the expert Kabbasat of Ariana, the fulling continues in the waters of the Medjerda at El Batan, the carding is carried out in El Alia where the thistles originate, then the dyeing which is impregnated in Zaghouan.
The finishing touches and shaping were finally completed in Tunis. At this frenetic pace of production, the Chechia surely traveled far more than the people who made it…

Caring for a Tunisian chechia made of 100% wool:

1. Careful hand washing: Avoid machine washing your wool chechia, as this may cause shrinkage or deformation. Hand washing is preferable, using lukewarm water and a mild, wool-specific detergent such as Monsapo 's. Wash gently, pressing lightly to avoid stretching the fabric.
2. Drying flat: Do not wring the chechia to remove excess water. Lay it flat on an absorbent towel and let it dry naturally. Avoid direct sunlight, as this may alter the color of the wool.
3. Gentle brushing: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove lint and restore the softness of the wool chechia. Brush gently in the direction of the fibers to avoid damage.

Styling a wool fez:

1. Adjusting the shape: After washing, adjust the shape of the wool fez by gently manipulating it. Ensure the shape is even and fits snugly on your head. This will help maintain a neat appearance.
2. Add accessories: Personalize your wool fez by adding accessories, such as a brooch, ribbon, or discreet badge. This can add a personal and stylish touch to your outfit.
3. Layering with other pieces: Pair your wool fez with other clothing and accessories to create interesting layered looks. For example, wear it under a denim jacket or with a matching scarf for a unique and trendy style.
