There must be a way to involve the adjective “rakish” in this thread.
I will hopefully be acquiring a Jijin in June whilst in Beijing for a philosophy conference ;)
Depending how serious you are, you might consider looking at online stores that sell costumes from the Beijing Opera. The Jijing seems pretty much identical to the Ming dynasty hat used by officials/scholars, as one would see in pictures of Matteo Ricci. I do not know if there were any specific regulations regarding its construction beyond that.
Jijin generally fell out of use after 1924’s Chinese Bishop conference, which decided to ” latinize” several inculturated aspects especially regarding to cleric dresses, such as cleric hat-Jijin, cleric cope (similar to Fr. Matteo Ricci’s) and so on. So Biretta and cassock were used from then to up until the 1990s (when the New Mass came). The only significant aspect that is still visible is the private devotion during Mass for laity. Which is a written and congregational reciting of Pre-, during (up until the offertory) and Post-Mass prayers audibly. The text was believed to be translated by 17 century Jesuits and the rythem was inherited from the Buddahist chanting (which was the former religion of the converts), this is called “the tone of reverence”. So nowadays they could possibly be obtained by individual request to th dress-makers I suppose.
@StMichael71 The Southern Church in Beijing is a Latin Mass parish (with Chinese local customs) so might have some information of acquiring it.
The cappello Romano was commonly worn by priests in the southern parts of the Netherlands until the Council. In a television series called “Dagboek van een herdershond” (Diary of a shepherd dog), filmed in 1978, it was still prominently featured, as can be seen in this picture: https://www.televizier.nl/Uploads/2016/8/1978-Dagboek-van-een-herdershond.jpg
