Why wear a Kufi???? Nothing more, nothing less.... In West Africa, a kufi cap is the traditional hat for men, and is part of the national costume of most of the countries in the region. It is worn by Christians, Muslims, and African Jews. Many grandfathers and other older men wear a kufi every day to symbolize their status as wise elders, religious people, or family patriarchs.[1] Within the United States, it has become identified primarily with persons of West African heritage, who wear it to show pride in their culture, history, and religion (whether Christianity, Islam or Traditional African religions). Often made of kente cloth, mudcloth, or knitted or crocheted in a variety of yarns.
