Kurdish dress is one of the oldest local dresses in Iran, which has a very long history. For example, the hats carved in the reliefs of Persepolis are quite similar to the hats found in Kurdish clothing. In fact, the hats carved in the Achaemenian reliefs are the hats of the Medes, but because the Medes lived in the western parts of the country, the Kurds consider their clothing to be from that period.
