Jeongjagwan (Korean: 정자관) is a type ofgwanmo (관모; 冠帽). It is a korean traditional men's hat inHanbok. It was first seen in theFive Dynasties period at the latest. In theSong Dynasty, two notableConfucian scholars,Cheng Yi (程颐) andCheng Hao (程灏), often wore this kind of hat, so they were also known as Cheng hats (程子冠). The system of Jeongjagwan is slightly modified following the barrel-shaped Dongpo hat of the Song Dynasty. It is mainly woven with horsetail hair, and it was a hat worn by men from theyangban, the upper class of theJoseon period.[1] It was mostly worn at home as a daily headgear instead of agat, a formal headgear.Jeongjagwan is made withhorse hair.[2][3]
