Gold Fascinator

This hat was described as a Theatrical, Wedding, Gold, Empress Style. Medieval Reenactment Hat, Fascinator.

Fascinators usually are something associated with women's headwear rather than men's and are basically a hat that covers only a small portion of the top of the head and purely ornamental in function.

While possible designed for a woman, I can see easily being worn by a man

This fascinator is made of lightweight wire gauze, with trimming  

It could be used for an Arabian or East Asian Princess or Prince

 

Cheap Chinese Style Hat

 This hat is about as cheap as they come and even as a novelty hat not recommended

Mimicking some other watermelon style oriental hats, this is made of some cheap fabric over some thin foam, that both makes it uncomfortable and a poor fit. The shiny fabric is slippery and this makes it readily just fall off your head, no matter how tight you pull it down

I have a similar hat here and although also a novelty hat far more comfortable and better made

Tudor Flat Cap

 The hat further down is the last of a set of Tudor theatrical hats purchased as a job lot off eBay

Like the others, the label inside says RCA which I believe is the Royal College of Arts

A theatrical version of a cowpat hat or Tudor flat cap

Brown and cream, ideal for any Tudor play if any good plays from the period still exist.
