Gat[1] is a traditional hat for men in Korean clothing during the Joseon Dynasty. It is made from horsehair and is partly transparent in black color.
The common shape of gat is rimmed cylindrical on a bamboo frame. Only married and middle class men during the late 19th century could wear gat to represent social status and to protect the topknot.
Under the Joseon Dynasty, black gats (heukrip) were restricted to men who had passed the gwageo examination. Commoners wore a variant called paeraengi which was woven from grass.[citation needed]
