Making 갓 (Gat): Traditional Korean Scholar’s Hat

I’ve been watching Dear Hongrang on Netflix, and since it’s a costume drama, there are a lot of beautiful hanbok, hair pins, etc. But I swear the hats are like their own characters, they get so many close-ups in this drama. That started me wondering what they’re made of and how they’re made. And then lo and behold, what does the Algorithm cough up for me but this fantastic video on the making of gat. Really, you should watch it, even if you don’t care about costume dramas. The process is just so amazing, and the artisans are unbelievably skilled.
