Šibenik cap
Introduction A man in national costume wearing a Šibenik cap. '''Šibenik cap''' () is a regional variant of a traditional red cap used in the Balkans that was developed in Šibenik, Croatia.
History The cap is more orange in colour instead of red, and simplified in cut (without a conical top, flat from above). It is embroidered with characteristic black ornament and without any hanging appendixes.The cap was modified upon older traditional forms during a work time of ''Industry of Folk Embroidery'' () held by Matavulj family in Croatian city of Šibenik from 1844 to 1945.The cap is well known throughout Croatia and is noticeable as a symbol of Šibenik and widely known among regional costume parts in general, not only representing Šibenik and its surroundings, but northern Dalmatia or a general Croatian identity when represented outside Croatia.Šibenik cap is a tradition enlisted on the national intangible heritage list, in 2008.
