Lately I have gotten interested in the history of the accessories I make. True or not, here is what I found out about ear flap hats. Ear flap hats called Chillos have been used in the Andean Mountain regions since the pre-Hispanic times where they were used as a protection against the cold weather.The ear flaps were tied under the chin for more warmth. In the late 2000 it became a widely used winter accessory made famous by the popularity of Snowboarding.
