Kingdom hats

It’s not the main focus of the show but as discussion has already reached the point of the merits of various hats on the show, here are three screengrabs from the trailer.

First, the Crown Prince has a hat with a kind of wide semi-transparent brim. Here he is with his bodyguard Mu-Yeong whose hat has a smaller brim because he is less posh (not a spoiler to say they probably shouldn’t open that gate which is boarded up for a reason).

Now if you think that might be a tad impractical, they both do some nifty swordplay in those hats and also push a wagon uphill while being chased by a zombie horde and the hats don’t budge.

Speaking of fancy hats under pressure, the royal guard get these red hats with feathers:

They wear those in combat also and on horseback.

Lastly, is the mourning hat of Lord Ahn Hyeon. Not a guy to mess with probably.
