Song and Ming Dynasty Hanfu Dongpo Jin Scholar Hat

The Dongpo Jin is a traditional Hanfu scholar hat that originated in the Song Dynasty and remained popular through the Ming period. It is said to have been designed by the great poet Su Dongpo (Su Shi), symbolising literary refinement and scholarly grace.

This elegant headwear features a double-walled crown, front seam, and flowing ribbons that fall gracefully at the back. The design embodies both simplicity and dignity — a style favoured by scholars and gentlemen throughout ancient China.

Made from a plain polyester-blend fabric with cloud-patterned brocade (Yunwen satin) as the supplementary material, it combines subtle texture with traditional craftsmanship. The hat’s structure is maintained through flat-panel tailoring and reinforced shaping, giving it a firm yet elegant appearance. Perfect for Hanfu outfits, cultural photography, traditional ceremonies, or historical reenactments.
