🎩 Traditional Korean Hat (Gat) – A Timeless Symbol of Prestige
📜 Rich in History
Worn by adult men during the Joseon Dynasty, the Gat started as a practical item to block sun, wind, and rain — but quickly evolved into a powerful symbol of noble status, especially for the aristocratic Yangban class.
🧵 Handcrafted by a Master
This is not just a hat — it’s a wearable piece of history, crafted by a Korean master artisan with over 30 years of experience. Every detail reflects time-honored skills and dedication.
💪 Built to Last
With its three-layer structure and slim, reinforced ring, the Gat is incredibly durable. If protected from shocks, it can be kept almost forever.
😌 Comfortable Fit
The head-contact area is lined with soft, rounded rubber, offering maximum comfort even during long wear. Includes a chin strap loop for secure and tidy wear.
📏 One Size Fits All

The Gat is designed to sit lightly on top of the head, not to fit inside the crown. It’s held in place with a chin strap — perfect for all head sizes.# The decorative hat strap used by the model is for display purposes only (not for sale).
