This man's quilted hat would have been worn in northern China. The pattern of the quilting on the crown of the hat suggests a mongolian influence. The long sides and rear flaps are heavily padded and are each extensively quilted with a large flower and diamond background. These flaps would be worn down to protect the neck from the bitter wind, or tied up on milder days days. The silk on the outside is in excellant condition. The inside rear of the black velvet lining shows signs of wear which would be consistant with rubbing against the collar of a winter coat. This hat is beautifully detailed.
