A peci is a cap of Indonesian Muslim origin, in the shape of a truncated cone, similar to fez but almost always made of black felt.
In Indonesia the peci has become its national headdress, with secular nationalist connotations, made popular by Sukarno. Peci is worn by male Indonesians in formal situation, wedding ceremonies, or religious holidays such as Eid ul-Fitr and Eid ul-Adh.
Peci is also worn in Malaysia, notably by the military and police of Malaysia and Brunei on ceremonial occasions.
