Kepenek
A kepenek is a thick, tent-like Turkish traditional shepherd's outer garment. It is a sleeveless, buttonless garment made of felt worn on the shoulders and covering the whole body from shoulders down. It is made of three parts: one for the back and two (the same as the back, cut in half along the length) for the front. The parts are stitched together along the shoulder lines and all the way down. Usually white, a kepenek may have some adornments. A kepenek can be as much as one centimeter thick, and is sold according to weight; a kepenek weighs several kilograms. While worn as garment, they may also function as a makeshift tent, allowing mobile sheperds to sleep in the open, in cold environments.

Burka (Caucasus)
A burka ( ab, ауапа ', ady, кӏакӏо ', hy, այծենակաճ ', av, буртина ', az, yapıncı, ce, верта ', ka, ნაბადი ', inh, ферта ', kbd, щӏакӏуэ ', os, нымӕг ' russian: бурка ', sva, ღართ ') is a coat made from felt or ''karakul'' (the short curly fur of young lambs of the Karakul (sheep), breed of that name). ''Karakul'' being quite expensive, ''burkas'' were usually sewn from felt treated to look like ''karakul''. ''Burkas'' are sewn with high, squared off shoulders, and wearers will have a distinctive high-shouldered silhouette. Chechnya was the main producer of burkas throughout the North Caucasus. ''Burkas'' were part of the customary male garb of various peoples inhabiting the Caucasus region. ''Burkas'' were adopted by Russian cavalry, and worn as part of the Russian military uniform from the middle of the 18th century until the 1850s, during the Caucasus War. Vasily Chapayev was portrayed we ...

Felt
Felt is a textile material that is produced by matting, condensing and pressing fibers together. Felt can be made of natural fibers such as wool or animal fur, or from synthetic fibers such as petroleum-based acrylic or acrylonitrile or wood pulp–based rayon. Blended fibers are also common. Natural fibre felt has special properties that allow it to be used for a wide variety of purposes. "It is fire-retardant and self-extinguishing; it dampens vibration and absorbs sound; and it can hold large amounts of fluid without feeling wet..." History Felt from wool is one of the oldest known textiles. Many cultures have legends as to the origins of felt making. Sumerian legend claims that the secret of feltmaking was discovered by Urnamman of Lagash. The story of Saint Clement and Saint Christopher relates that the men packed their sandals with wool to prevent blisters while fleeing from persecution. At the end of their journey, the movement and sweat had turned the wool into f ...
