Chinese Wedding Cap


This Chinese hat or cap is more like fascinator than an actual hat.


 The cap come up in images under Qing and Han Dynasty, I can only assume it was worn across both periods.



Used by nobles, emperors and as a modern wedding headpiece.


This hat is held in place by a tie, although it's more likely to have been pinned through and over a bun of hair, but I don't have anywhere near enough hair for that.


Also seen listed as a Chinese landlords hat

Qing dynasty Hat


This is a reproduction of Chinese Qing dynasty Emperors hat


The hat is seen in a painting of Kangxi Emperor in court dress wearing his dragon robes.


The Qing Dynasty ran from 1636 (or 1644 depending on what you count as the start) to 1912.



This hat is actually part of a wedding costume.

The hat is made from mixture cardboard, felt, shiny fabric, beads and what look like Christmas baubles

Buddhist Ceremonial Hat


This is a Buddhist Lama Monk Ceremonial Hat which is worn by Lama or Monks during Buddhist ceremonies or other ritual celebration.


 It is made from brocade material over board. Its inner surface has got cotton lining.


You can see images of Dalai Lama wearing a very similar hat.


In this image the top is pointing forward but works equally well pointing backwards

Oriental Tall Hat

This hat was made by a friend as a surprise gift, I have good friends it seems.


The hat was inspired by a character in oriental movie, although I can't remember which one, probably used by some sort of official, priest or advisor.


A basic cloth hat with a stiffening material in it to allow it to stand upright, once your wearing it.

I regularly loose this hat by misjudging the height when walking through doorways.
