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. 

Black Flat Cap

This velvet Tudor flat cap is a bit posh for the soldier wearing it below

 Part of a set of Tudor cap from a theatre sale

I think this hat needs a plume to enhance it, as its a little plain.

White Cowphat

A flat cap or Cow-pat hat

This was part of job lot of RSC hats I purchased, all in very good condition.

See labels theatrical hats for other cow-pat hats that came as part of this set.

Tudor Cap

This simple beige cloth pork pie is the universal Tudor cap

Worn by men and women in the Elizabethan era.

A hat! a hat! my Kingdom for a hat!

A mock Tudor period hat 

Whilst the correct shape, the materials are wrong and proportion a little exaggerated, although I have no doubt people in the period did add lots of flashy bits to make them stand out.

This hat came as part of a job lot of theatrical medieval hats I purchased via eBay.

Perfect for your Shakespearian play.

"A horse! a horse! my kingdom for a horse!", said Richard not me but King Richard the Third at the battle of Bosworth, at least according to Sheakspear.

Cow Pat Hat

This medieval cap is often called a cow pat hat because of its very flat when not on the head.

Made of fabric, its a brim about 5cm wide with the crown made of the same material made oversized  so it falls onto the brim, its then lined and as in this case decorated with feathers

Worn predominantly in Tudor period by peasants through to nobility and by men and women alike.

Henry VIII wore this Hat

I'm Henry the 8th, I'am

This hat style at least within the reinactmant circles I belong to was called a 'Cow Pat hat'.

The hat is made of same fabric used in the coat. 

Under it I'm wearing black lace edged coif. 

This hat was made by my good friend SamK ( she is in the mustard yellow dress in the photo below) as part of the full head to toe costume she made to allow me to play Henry VIII for several Living History performances I did. 

The photo below was taken at Skipton Castle and the one above at Lincoln Bishops Palace.
