Havelock

 A Havelock is not a hat, it's a hat cover or to be more accurate a helmet cover

Mainly used by the military to change the look for say a blue UN peacekeeping or to a different camouflage pattern of the helmet without the need to repaint or swap helmets.

Havelocks get their name from the British General Henry Havelock, invented originally to protect the wearer from the sun.

Play Hat

 This not a play hat but a hat from a play, was used for a production of the King and I

Homemade from a cardboard tube, covered in shiny fabric and sequins. 

Held on to the head with an elastic chin strap since the diameter is too small for and adult.

Came as part of job lot of hats but I think this is one only suitable for the bin, not worth saving for anything.

Black Fedora

This hat today will be a Fedora.

There are way too many definitions of what Trilby or Fedora should be often conflicting with each other to do with brim size, brim flatness, pointiness, even smartness, I just get confused everyone has a different opinion and most hats end up sitting somewhere between the two even then.

Is this a wide brim making it fedora, the brim is rolled so maybe a trilby, it's not pointy at the front so more fedora, probably on balance a fedora.

This hat was gifted to me and has not been worn much yet.

However a good and comfortable fit.

Ninja Hood

 I call this a Ninja hood, but not sure what it really is or where it came from, I think it's actually a Halloween horror mask.

The hood has a mesh net sewn in over the face and the rim around the mesh put the rest of your face in shadow.

Which is easy to see out of but hides the identity of the face behind it.

Not only that the black hood with the mesh darkening your face make you invisible in the dark when combined with other black clothing.

So ideal for raiding an oriental castle on a moonless night.

Hairhat

 This is a third wig, third hat, third headband.

I suppose for the balding gentleman its the ideal hat for imitating an 80s tennis player.

Pointed out to me by a work colleague I just had to have one and they come in several colours so you can match your hair colour, this colour turned out to be a good match.

I think this hat makes me look several days younger and intend to wear it to embarrass myself whenever I can.

Even the cat is not impressed.

Described as wig hat, they come nice and cheap all the way from China
