Tembel hat

The tembel hat was worn by Jews in Mandatory Palestine and later Israel from the beginning of the 20th century until the 1970s.

[2] Tembel hats were most notably produced by the ATA textile company.

Its advantage is that it can be easily folded and put into a pocket, making it suitable for workers who work long hours in the sun.

The tembel hat is cheap because it is easy to sew from a small amount of fabric scraps.

The ancient pileus survived in Albania in the early 20th century and may have influenced the leaders of the Second Aliyah, who adopted the hat.
