Doppa

An Uzbek man wearing a doppi or tyubeteika

An Uzbek man wearing a doppi (called tyubeteika in Russian)

The doppa (Template:Langx) or doppi (Template:Langx / / ; Template:Langx) is a Turkic square or round skullcap originating in Central Asia, worn by Uyghurs, Uzbeks, Kazan Tatars, and Tajiks.

The doppa is a specific type of hat within the Tubeteika category.

The doppa is derived from the Khwarazmians, more pointed, and an ancestral cap, which can be seen in some of the portraits of Jalaleddin Mingburnu.

Differences between the Uyghur doppas and Uzbek doppis can be observed from their shape, method of making, and colour. Uyghur doppas are round, whereas Uzbek doppis are square with pointy edges. Uyghur doppas are relatively softer, while Uzbek doppis are slightly harder and set into shape with mold.
