Asian hat question

[-zenn]

So I've been finishing some WIP's and in the meantime started thinking about building a Ninjago/Cyberpunk-esque styled dio...
Started on aquiring parts and assembling some key/minorfigs to get a feel for the setting I want to convey; streetdealers, datarunners, corporates, etc.

(93059) (26007)

Now I have been wondering, TLG produces 2 kinds of Asian conical hats; but is there an underlying cultural significance/difference between them?
The tan one (93059) is what I associate with an Asian hat. I've seen the dark flesh one (26007) before, but can't quite put my finger on it.

Anybody willing to maybe shed some light on this for me?
I've googled, but can't seem to find it.

Both  of those are based off of Japanese Jingasa, though the tan one is more universally used in South-Eastern Asia, the other design being exclusively Japanese.

@Eggyslav Thank you  I did some searching on 'Jingasa' and came across this;

"A kasa is a generic term to identify traditional hats. Japanese traditional hat types are easily recognized because the word kasa (笠) is at the end. There are many kinds of kasa out there like,
Komusougasa, Roningasa, Jingasa, Sandogasa, Amigasa, Fukaamigasa, Sugegasa, Torioigasa, Takuhatsugasa, Yagyūgasa and Ajirogasa." - oldjapan.org

And also an article on wikipedia, which can be found here; wikilink. Still gonna do some more searching & find out more about them.
