The king then named it " Tsering Kingkap" as a appreciation to the Cobbler for his hard work and concept.
During that time, people use to love their Royal family a lot. As time pass by, the queen in the royal family died due to diseases. The cobbler again made a tibetan handmade female hat as a tribute to the queen and gave it to the king. This time the king was so touched by the cobbler's female hat and named it as " Nyongsha ". In tibetan language " Nyong" means condolence and "Sha" means short form of Hat.
Therefore, male hat in tibetan language is known as " Tsering Kingkap " and female hat is know as "Nyongsha". These hat now days comes in different qualities like Average, Good and Best.
Gyasar kingkap means the finest golden silk material used for the best quality products.
