The ''Gamsbart'' (German pronunciation (), literally ''chamois beard'', plural Gamsbärte) is a tuft of hair traditionally worn as a decoration on trachten-hats in the alpine regions of Austria and Bavaria. Originally worn as a hunting trophy and made exclusively from hair from the chamois' lower neck, ''Gamsbärte'' are today manufactured on a large scale from various animals' hair and are commonly sold by specialized dealers and also at souvenir shops. 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, hairs are selected for a dark color at the lower end with a very light tip. The size and diameter of the ''Gamsbart'' are important signs of the wearer's pride and manliness. Traditionally, ''Gamsbärte'' are exclusively placed on hats worn by men; however, recent developments in dirndl fashion have seen ''Gamsbärte'' added to various places on female dresses. ==References== *(Culturally authentic pictorial lexicon (English) ) *(About the Gamsbart-Olympia 2008 at BR-Online(German) ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gamsbart」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
