The conical
Asian hat, sedge
hat, rice hat, paddy
hat, and sometimes known by the term coolie hat, although many people consider this term to be offensive,
is a simple style of conical hat originating
in East South Asia, Southeast Asia, particularly China, Cambodia, Indonesia,
Japan, Korea, Philippines, India and Vietnam. It is kept on the head by a cloth (often silk) chin
strap; an internal band of the same material keeps the hat itself from resting
on the wearer's head. This style of hat is used primarily as protection from
the sun and rain. When made of straw or matting, it can be dipped in water and
worn as an impromptu evaporative-cooling device.
