Pungcha
A pungcha is a type of traditional Korean winter hat worn by both men and women during the Joseon period for protection against the cold. It is also called ''pungchae'' and ''jeongpungcha''. Although its shape is very similar with nambawi, the ''pungcha'' has a ''bolkki'' (볼끼) attached on both sides of the ears. It was originally worn by males of yangban, the upper class but became to spread to commoners including women. The ''pungcha'' is open on the top so that it does not cover the top of the head just like other winter caps such as ''nambawi'', ''ayam (cap), ayam'', and ''jobawi''. Whereas it fully covers the forehead, back and ears on the sides as well as cheeks by the ''bokki''. The outer is generally made of a variety of silk called ''dan'' (단, ), wool and a fabric made from kudzu barks were used.

Jobawi
A ''jobawi'' is a type of traditional Korean winter cap with earflaps which was worn by women and was made of silk. Since its first appearance in the late Joseon period, it has been widely worn as a substitute for the ''ayam (cap), ayam'' (a cap with a big ribbon on the back). Although the ''jobawi'' was worn by the upper class as well as by commoners, it was mostly used by the yangban aristocracy of that time as a decorative headgear when they went out. In addition, the ''jobawi'' was worn not only as formal headgear, but also for special occasions. Even though a wearer was not in formal attire, if she wore a ''jobawi'', the overall outfit could be considered as simple formal clothing. The ''jobawi'' does not cover the top of the head just like other unisex winter caps such as the ''ayam'', ''nambawi'' and the ''pungcha''. But it fully covers the forehead and the ears on the sides with round earflaps to protect against the cold. The outer surface is generally made of several varie ...

Korea
Korea ( ko, 한국, or , ) is a peninsular region in East Asia. Since 1945, it has been divided at or near the 38th parallel, with North Korea (Democratic People's Republic of Korea) comprising its northern half and South Korea (Republic of Korea) comprising its southern half. Korea consists of the Korean Peninsula, Jeju Island, and several minor islands near the peninsula. The peninsula is bordered by China to the northwest and Russia to the northeast. It is separated from Japan to the east by the Korea Strait and the Sea of Japan (East Sea). During the first half of the 1st millennium, Korea was divided between three states, Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla, together known as the Three Kingdoms of Korea. In the second half of the 1st millennium, Silla defeated and conquered Baekje and Goguryeo, leading to the "Unified Silla" period. Meanwhile, Balhae formed in the north, superseding former Goguryeo. Unified Silla eventually collapsed into three separate states due to ...

Tubeteika
A tubeteika ( rus, тюбете́йка, links=1, tyubeteika, tʲʉbʲɪˈtʲeɪ̯kə, LL-Q8798 (ukr)-Tohaomg-тюбетейка.wav) is a Russian word for many varieties of traditional Central Asian caps. Tubeteikas are today worn in Tajikistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Uzbekistan, as well as in Muslim-populated regions of Russia (mainly Tatars) and Azerbaijan. The skullcap worn by Uzbeks and Uyghurs is called a doppa and has a square base. It was a popular headgear among children throughout the USSR during the 1940s and 1950s. Tubeteikas are worn typically by the Turkic ethnic groups of the region. It bears some superficial resemblance to the yurt, another Central Asian cultural icon. The ''-ka'' at the end is a Russian diminutive suffix, as with '' shapka'', ''ushanka'' and '' budenovka''. In Turkmen, it is called ''tahiya'' ("taqiyah"). Doppa The Uzbek ''doppa'' or ''duppi'' ( uz, doʻppi) is considered an applied art form and an important part of the traditional fo ...

Nambawi
A ''nambawi'' is a type of traditional Korean winter hat worn by both men and women during the Joseon period for protection against the cold. The other names for it are ''pungdengi'' and ''nani'' (literally warming ears). The ''nambawi'' is also called ''ieom'' (literally "covering ears") which was worn in the early Joseon period, although it was derived from the cap. It was originally worn by the upper class as a daily hat, but spread to commoners and women in the later period. It was usually worn by middle-aged women and old people as well as by government officers who put it under the ''samo'' (사모, official hat). The ''nambawi'' is open on the top so that it does not cover the top of the head just like other winter caps such as the ''ayam'' and the ''jobawi'', both of which were actually adapted from it, whereas it fully covers the forehead, back and ears on the sides to provide warmth against the cold. The overall shape of the side is curved in three phases. The edge of th ...

Ayam (cap)
An ayam (아얌) is a Korean traditional winter cap mostly worn by women in the Joseon period (1392 – 1910) for protection against the cold. It is also called ''aegeom'' which literally means "covering a forehead" in Korean. There is a historical record which mentions that officials in a low class called ''iseo'' (이서, ) wore ''ayam'' in the early Joseon period, so it was a unisex cap. However, it is not clear whether the shape at that time was identical to that of the later period. During the late Joseon period, an ''ayam'' was usually worn by female commoners. Especially in the western part of Korea, ''kisaeng'' (female Korean entertainers) commonly wore an ''ayam'', and they were also worn as a simple formal headgear. Composition The ''ayam'' generally consists of ''mobu'' (모부, a crown) and ''deurim'' (드림) which are shaped like ''daenggi'' (댕기) or a big ribbon. The upper 4–5 cm part of the ''mobu'' is finely quilted, the vertical line of the front sho ...

Wool
Wool is the textile fibre obtained from sheep and other mammals, especially goats, rabbits, and camelids. The term may also refer to inorganic materials, such as mineral wool and glass wool, that have properties similar to animal wool. As an animal fibre, wool consists of protein together with a small percentage of lipids. This makes it chemically quite distinct from cotton and other plant fibres, which are mainly cellulose. Characteristics Wool is produced by follicles which are small cells located in the skin. These follicles are located in the upper layer of the skin called the epidermis and push down into the second skin layer called the dermis as the wool fibers grow. Follicles can be classed as either primary or secondary follicles. Primary follicles produce three types of fiber: kemp, medullated fibers, and true wool fibers. Secondary follicles only produce true wool fibers. Medullated fibers share nearly identical characteristics to hair and are long but lack c ...

Joseon Period
Joseon (; ; Middle Korean: 됴ᇢ〯션〮 Dyǒw syéon or 됴ᇢ〯션〯 Dyǒw syěon), officially the Great Joseon (; ), was the last dynastic kingdom of Korea, lasting just over 500 years. It was founded by Yi Seong-gye in July 1392 and replaced by the Korean Empire in October 1897. The kingdom was founded following the aftermath of the overthrow of Goryeo in what is today the city of Kaesong. Early on, Korea was retitled and the capital was relocated to modern-day Seoul. The kingdom's northernmost borders were expanded to the natural boundaries at the rivers of Amrok and Tuman through the subjugation of the Jurchens. During its 500-year duration, Joseon encouraged the entrenchment of Confucian ideals and doctrines in Korean society. Neo-Confucianism was installed as the new state's ideology. Buddhism was accordingly discouraged, and occasionally the practitioners faced persecutions. Joseon consolidated its effective rule over the territory of current Korea and saw the he ...
