Kavuk A kind of headdress. The name of one of the formerly used sprinkles. Kavuks were often made of felt, and their vertical stripes that narrowed upward were stuffed with cotton. A few finger-width wraps were made around it with a turban, which was short in width and less in length. Its shape, color and name varied according to classes.

In the past, rulers and statesmen used to wear turbans in a spherical shape called "örf". For the first time, Fatih Sultan Mehmed Han began to use a turban called Khorasani instead of a crown, with a twisted cheesecloth wrapped around it. The serpuş on the marble tombstones of former Ottoman princes and some other statesmen is more or less the same. The one used by Sultan Bayezid Han was the kavuk called "mücevveze". Mücevveze was a turban with a narrower top, with a red protruding top, and a cheesecloth was wrapped around it. Sultans, grand viziers, state dignitaries and some other civil servants have been formally dressed for a long time. During the reign of Yavuz Sultan Selim, "Selimi" was created in honor of his own name. This new crown was taller than a jewel, sixty-five centimeters in length. It was covered with cloth and cheesecloth. In the eighteenth century, the Ottoman sultans wore both the jewel and the Selim. Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent wore a turban called Yusufi for the first time as a crown. Later sultans wore it only when they were sitting on the throne during the enthronement ceremonies. Even if Yusufi was as long as Selimi, it was not straight and had a wider top on it. and two crests were worn in front of him. “Taç”, and all kinds of turbans worn by the sheikhs were called “taç”.

Kavuks, which had many varieties such as Molla kavuk, tufted kavuk, tel kavuk, Horasani kavuk, ıskirlak kavuk, kallavi, mücevveze murabbaı, mücevveze, were completely abandoned after the fez was introduced in 1842.
