Topic: Gamsbart


  
  Gamsbart - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The gamsbart (literally chamois beard) is a tuft of hair traditionally worn as a decoration on hats in the alpine countries of Europe.
A gamsbart is made by enclosing the lower end of the tuft of hair in a setting of metal or horn that allows the upper end to spread in a brush-like fashion.
Traditionally, gamsbarts are exclusively placed on hats worn by men; however, recent developments in dirndl fashion have seen gamsbarts added to various places on female dresses.
