Evans-Pritchard notes that whilst the earliest noted Mbomu hats were brimless straw hats with plumes called kutuku, "the hat which is today fashionable, and has been for some years, is of much the same shape but with two new features: black lateral patterns, often wavy lines, and a broad brim, the first being copied from the Mangbetu and the second from the earliest Europeans."
