pulled this from another thread that I posed a question , what types of kasa were worn other than eboshi in period/ say 1100-1600? i have looked for some but im getting confused on the application and some are in japanese. by application i mean when they wore them ie casual ,court,non- armored battlefield. I have found a lot on the straw types on bokunan-do and others mainly im looking for something different . I have found the geometric style eboshi and the curved brim wood top horsemans jingasa but am still looking.

I think you are looking up the wrong word.
"Boushi" are types of hats. Within that category:
KASA (which is modernly used for umbrella) include a number of hats that are often made with woven grass over a frame and can be used to protect against rain, snow, or sun.
EBOSHI are all hats that originated in China that morphed into a "bag" style hat--it could be starched and worn upright in the "shark hat" manner, or it might be more pliable, like those worn underneath kabuto. The folded "ori-eboshi" is a particularly intricate version.
KANMURI are the official hats, originating from the "head cloth" hats of the Chinese, they became elaborate, lacquered affairs. They are distinguished, generally, by their rear protrusion to accommodate the wearer's hair, and their EI--the tails that are remnants of the old ties on the original version. These are often starched and standing up or out, depending on the era and fashion.
Those are the main hat types that I can think of for men, off the top of my head. I haven't done enough looking into hats for women.

This would be like an arming cap? Where can I find more info on this?

You'll find that many questions about basic stuff have already been discussed somewhere on Tousando. Never be afraid to ask a question, but please don't be offended if you get responses like " tousando.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=armour&thread=4086". The board's built-in search function can be tricky to use, but Google advanced search limited to this site works pretty well.

I'm new to my SCA Japanese persona. Looking for traditional Kasa worn by middle class Samurai mid 1500s. In particular, straw hats as I often attend outdoor events in the sun. I have a sugegasa and it seems worn everywear in Asia. I've found the following Kasa:
Takuhatsugasa: Takuhatsu - 托鉢 Large Buddhist Monk Hat... Hand-crafted bamboo material. Sandokasa: Traditional sandogasa. A hat often worn by couriers. Obviated need for an umbrella. Also keeps sun off face and neck, while allowing wind to pass freely. Sugegasa: conical straw hat.
Just don't know what was most often worn (outside movie hype).
recommendations?

I've been pretty much living in my sandogasa this summer. I purchased it from the folks at Bokunan-do. If you're willing to pay for shipping from Japan (yes, it gets pricy!), they are delightful to deal with. was taken two weeks ago at Kingdom Rapier Championships where it hit about 104.
