HanbokGwanbok (hangul:관복 hanja:官服) is a general term for business attire of government officers which were initiated to wear from Silla kingdom. There were several types of gwanbok according to status, rank, and occasion.
The other hat
Oops. Didn't realize it was so large. Hope that didn't cause probs for anyone.

Thar is a very interesting hat. You can see through the brim. And yet it doesn't fit the head!

If I am not mistaken the hats are made of horse hair.

Thank you for sharing the photos.
It is good to see clothing made from natural fibers.

I would be very interested to know the name of the British Missionary who took the photographs.
Was it a missionary to China? (China Inland Mission, perhaps), or was it a missionary to Korea who may have traveled with the delegation. I’m inclined to think it was the former, of course. Although men like Jonathan Goforth (Canadian, Presbyterian) labored in both countries to both peoples, but he came later in the 1800s and early 1900s.
And my, what great quality for 1863.
To: John Leland 1789
According to JoongAng Ilbo, London Mission(?) owns them. The School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London is entrusted to take care of them. FYI

In 1974 I was in Korea for a year.
I purchased pipes like that one and gave them to friends and kept one. Made of different types of silver with elaborate art work. Still have the one I kept.
Also if you went in to the country side you could still see old retirees wearing the customary dress like worn in the photos.
Pretty cool customs and gracious folks.
Except for that kimchi thing they have going but even that is a great story.
The Japaneese invaded Korea and enslaved the people. They fed the folks only rotted and very hot foods for decades and it became a staple. Also the Japs cut down most trees and took them back to Japan as the Japs have few natural resources.

Great stuff. Forwarded the link to Mrs jimfree and she appreciates your post. She is a costume historian who did a report on Korean costume long years ago in her Master’s program. She described the one different example of headwear as the “Confucian hat” - worn by those who had passed an exam and were eligible for plum government jobs. Can any other Freepers speak to this?
