Description
This is a traditional Korean gat (men’s hat) by Hanbok damda, handcrafted by a Korean master artisan with over 30 years’ experience. It reproduces the traditional three-layer gat construction with a slim reinforced ring and is designed to sit lightly on top of the head and be secured with a chin strap. Intended for adults, it pairs with traditional topknots or hanbok for ceremonies, performances, and cultural display.
Why This One
- Outer diameter 45 cm — large brim that fits adult styling and stage wear.
- Made by a master artisan with over 30 years’ experience — traditional handcrafting and finishing.
- Three-layer construction with a slim reinforced ring — built to remain sturdy with long-term use.
Key Features
- Traditional three-layer gat construction for durability and structure.
- Slim, reinforced ring finish on the crown for long-lasting shape retention.
- Head-contact area lined with soft rounded rubber for comfort during extended wear.
- Includes chin strap loop; decorative beaded gat-string sold separately (model uses a display strap).
- Gat string option: wooden beaded strap inspired by contemporary K-pop styling; weight balanced for performance or dance.
- Designed to sit on top of the head (not placed inside the crown) and fixed with a chin strap or by wearing with a traditional topknot (sangtu) for a secure fit.
How to Use
- Place the gat on top of the head — do not insert the head into the inner crown opening.
- Secure the gat by fastening the chin strap loop under the chin.
- For a more complete, stable fit, wear a traditional topknot (sangtu) and position the gat over the topknot.
- If attaching a decorative gat-string, use the gat’s built-in connector/hook for a clean, secure attachment.
