Eight-Cornered Cap: Gakkoş Cap

In the lands of Elazığ, a cap with eight corners, Each corner laden with virtues to endorse. Valor, honesty, diligence, and grace, Generosity, truth, and a welcoming embrace. Humble hearts and hospitality grand, In the wearer, these virtues stand.
Known as Gakkoş, this cap of lore, Evokes kinship, brotherhood galore. It traces back to Seljuk’s starry might, An emblem of virtue, shining bright. Four millennia’s legacy, Harput’s tale, In Seljuk’s reign, it did prevail.
Crafted by hand with utmost care, By artisans rare, their skill laid bare. Only four remain to carry on the art, Preserving traditions, playing their part.
For sixty years, Nevzat Yentür’s hands, Fashion caps from remnants, where sustainability stands. Each cap a labor of love, three hours’ span, A heritage passed from father to son, man to man. In the rhythm of stitches, tradition thrives, As the sustainability of culture survives. In the fabric’s rebirth, echoes the past,
A testament to endurance, made to last.
