Abstract
The article discusses men's apparel-felt, which plays an important role in the clothing culture of the Caucasian peoples. Information about the history of this type of clothing, its distribution area, production method, types and their forms are provided. The article also researched the pronunciation of clothing in different languages, and using dictionaries compiled by well-known researchers, these expressions were brought into scientific circulation. Our research analyzed the expressions related to yapinji recorded in Mahmud Kashgari's famous work "Divani-lüğet-it türk" and those expressions helped us to think about the etymology of the yapinji. This study provides detailed information on the forms and etymology of yapinji in Azerbaijan, and notes the toponyms associated with 'kapanak'. Special attention is paid to the etymology of the kapanak, and it is concluded that the kapanak is not an insect, as noted in the scientific literature, and is associated with the Kapan branch of the pecheneg tribe. The article puts forward new scientific views on the widespread "khillig" among Azerbaijanis living in the Agbaba region. Conceptual, historical and review methods were used in the research. The article will be as a useful resource for students, researchers, scientists and experts whose research is mostly related to this field. Key words: Clothing culture, felt cloak, clothing history, turkic people, kepenek
