Jade Green Silk Korean Woman's Jacket (Jeogori). In Korea, the beauty of a woman's jacket was judged by the curvature of the sleeves and the color. By both criteria, this is a most beautiful Jeogori. It is padded for warmth (Somjeogori). Prominent design and function roles were played by the bow ties (Goerum), and this reddish purple Goerum succeeds in both roles, matching the lapel and cuffs. And the cuffs have a further touch of quality: a blue floral lining. Jackets with contrasting colored cuffs and ribbons are called Banhoejang-joegori, as opposed to plain single color Minjoegori. The color of this gorgeous jacket evokes the jade green of Koryo celadon. 50.5 x 14 inches, 128 x 36 cm.

Nothing says 'Korean' more than a Gat, a Korean Gentleman's Hat made of Horsehair. Three important criteria for judging a Gat are the sheen, the curvature of the bottom of the brim, and the hat's silhouette. All are just right on this fine and rare Gat. We say 'rare' because most Gat you will see are not genuine antiques made of horsehair, but are imitations constructed of wire mesh. There are many fun ways of displaying this wonderful hat and its silk straps, as suggested in the photos here. 13 inches (33cm) wide x 6 inches (15cm) high.
