Is the hat worn in the Welsh diaspora, eg Patagonia or elsewhere, on St David's Day or at other occasions? BrainyBabe 08:38, 1 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

There is little evidence that the Welsh hat was taken to the places that emigrants went to (America, Canada, Australia and Patagonia), but Welsh communities at most of these places held Eisteddfodau and spoke some Welsh. During the 20th century, some wore versions of Welsh costume, including modern felt hats made for children, and I know that some people from Welsh communities in these places have acquired old Welsh costume from Britain during visits. --Ceredigion1905 (talk) 13:35, 31 December 2009 (UTC)Reply
