A pungcha is a type of traditional Korean winter hat worn by both men and women during the Joseon period for protection against the cold. It is also called "pungchae" and "jeongpungcha". Although its shape is very similar with nambawi, the "pungcha" has a "bolkki" (볼끼) attached on both sides of the ears. It was originally worn by males of yangban, the upper class but became to spread to commoners including women.cite web|url=http://hair.culturecontent.com/dress/mo_man_08.asp |title=모/남성용 풍차 |publisher=KOCCA / Chung-Ang University |accessdate=2008-09-23 |language=Korean] cite web|url=http://www.nfm.go.kr/data/full.cgi?v_kw_str=&v_db=1&v_doc_no=00000470&opt_s=1 |title=풍차(風遮) |publisher=National Folk Museum of Korea |accessdate=2008-09-23 |language=Korean]

The "pungcha" is open on the top so that it does not cover the top of the head just like other winter caps such as "nambawi", "ayam", and "jobawi". Whereas it fully covers the forehead, back and ears on the sides as well as cheeks by the "bokki". The outer is generally made of a variety of silk called "dan" (단, linktext|緞), wool and a fabric made from kudzu barks were used.
