The traditional karate uniform is called a "Gi", pronounced gee. The Japanese and Okinawans wear a dogi, usually referred to as the gi to work out in. The belt, or obi, that holds the top together, is also used to indicate rank.

You wear loose clothing called a gi with a belt called a obi.

GI and Hakama are the two types of clothing used in Aikido. All Aikido practitioners dress in the GI (also known as the dogi or gi of the art). Advanced Aikido practitioners wear hakama, a traditional Japanese garment that resembles culottes and comes in black or dark blue.

Most of them call it a gi. More correctly it is a do-gi. It was based on the clothes worn under the kimono, but are now much heavier than the material originally used.

What is the name of the hat that Iraqis wear?

Iraqis do not typically wear hats; in fact most Iraqi men do not wear anything on their heads at all, similar to most Westerners. Historically, Iraqi men wore fezzes, but this has not been the case for over a hundred years now. If the question is asking about the cloth that some of the older Iraqi men wear, this is called a kufiyeh (كوفية‎). In Iraq, the kufiyehs are typically red and white, whereas in the Levant they are black and white. Some men in the Iraqi military wear berets and other sorts of military hats, but this is part of the uniform and not a personal choice. Most women in Iraq wear the hijaab, which suffices for their headcovering.
