Random question, i am visiting Georgia again soon and got a nice sheep hat (papagi?) as a souvenir which i love. How do you feel about tourists wearing them and how do Georgians geel about them in general? Just curious, thanks!

I don’t give a shit about sheep hats.
All my homies hate sheep hats.
We don’t really have such thing as cultural appropriation when it comes to clothes or accessories here. You’re welcome to dress as Georgian as you like.
I don’t give a fuck. USA is about turn full pro ruzzian. Smells like WW3. I have more important things on my mind 
Good. I feel good about it
I dont mind.
Who gives a fuck about sheep’s hats? It all depends on where they come from—Georgia, okay. But from other regions like Kadyrov’s and Dagestan? Fuck them. It should be prohibited. Let them fuck sheep!
Do as you like
It’s great way to show respect towards Georgian culture.
America does have a way to make up retarded bullshit. Their is no such thing as cultural appropriation, only cultural appreciation. You are more then welcome
It’s funny because who wears it 99% are tourists😂
Nice warm hat to keep your head warm if you wish
“wish I had one of those”
I think USA is the only country obsessed with “cultural appropriation”
I have worn and own a collection of traditional costumes from several countries. Every time I wore one, I was always showered with compliments by the locals.
I also like it when people wear Dirndl and Lederhosen. It’s fun.
I don’t think it would be any different in Georgia. I remember seeing on the news here that an American couple got married in a traditional Georgian costume some years ago. The reception was very positive.
offended
I’d better get the svan hat.
No one gives two f’cks about such things outside of US. If anything, some will appreciate you wearing them and others simply won’t care, but no one will accuse you of cultural appropriation
I can assure you not A SINGLE SOUL out there would be offended by someone showing interest in their culture and history, and trying to embrace it!
I have no idea when exactly the US came up with that shit, but it needs to stop!!
Like a random Georgian wearing a Lakers hoodie.

Pretty sure nobody cares about “cultural appropriation” other than Americans.
I personally don’t care who wears what.
am I the only Georgian here who considers this to be a cultural appropriation? maybe I am biased cause I grew up in r*ssia and came across a LOT of instances of r*ssians appropriating Georgian/Caucasian cultures in my life time. but I also wouldn’t appreciate a Dane/american/Indian/etc. doing the same…
Who cares
if anything it should be more popular BUT i think it would be cooler to choose something different than papakha and chokha because other caucasian countries also have it. i believe our regions have something authentic that the others do not
We don’t have such thing as cultural appropriation in this part of the world.
Wait is this Dagestan and Georgian tradition?
Cultural appropriation is only really a thing in North America
Yep seen one should’ve bought one I always wanted to grow an Afro but I couldn’t, this was my one chance damn.
I think its called papakha
Cultural appropriation bs doesn’t bother us.
That is a cultural appreciation so you are more than welcome to do it.
If some fluffy buttercups start screaming “cultural appropiation” please make sure to do it even more.
Don’t care, why do you care enough to ask?
This aint US bratha)))
We have a community of Georgian Jews here; many still wear them. They loved it when I wore them with them
I thought that’s an afro cut 💀
Dude how dare you appropriate our culture?! Jk you can wear it as much as you want it and even rock it back home, spread our culture and traditions, homie
