Does anyone know What this Hat is Called?

[Gbemi]

Hello,

 

I recently read this nice article online and noticed the hat the grandmother was wearing.  Does anyone know the name of this style hat, and what region, if any, it is popular in?  Thank you in advance.

Could you include a link to the article? Where there perhaps any hints in it about which region or minority people this grandmother was of?

The grandma is now in Chongqing and it says she's from a small village, so I assume she's from a village in Greater Chongqing or in Sichuan. You could see which minorities live there and whether any of those groups wear such hats. Or I could do that, but I have to get on with my work :-)

廚師帽？

Haha, Skylee... I thought the same thing but didn't say it.       

 

That's what it looks like to me!

From my perspective of view, I believe it is for the kitchen <auxiliary> workers instead of the chef. As described in the article, the post 90 girl runs a Chuan Chuan Xiang restaurant where you can easily find that kind of HAT.

 

You can call it 厨房用帽子,because it is used in the kitchen. Find a similar one: http://www.huitao.net/htbigimg/27-4294777201.html

Thank you all for your help.   Very much appreciated.

I guess my next question would be, would there be any way of knowing if this style originally and independantly existed in China prior to contact with Europeans.  I have seen the hat previously in photographs, but they were worn by factory workers, not restaurant, which is why i originally thought there were not necessarily related to food prepartion services.  I don't have the original website where I first saw the hat. 

 

Again, thank you all for helping

Here is another.  If you scroll down, there is someone wearing a pink one, and not in a food-related industry
