Found an interesting link or so:

http://www.sairamtour.com/uzbekistan/uzbek_national_dress.html (tourism site, but they have pics)

http://www.ebay.com/sch/sis.html?_nkw=Uzbekistan+Uzbek+Women+Tubeteika+Skull+Cap+Hat+99 -- Just Uzbek hats, but eBay can be useful for research purposes...

I adore Scythian art:

Modern constructions, nifty wool hats: http://www.wanderingsheep.com/hats.html
