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. 

Cloth Cap

 I have a few flat caps, this is one of my favourites.

Not sure what makes it a favourite, maybe the brown colour works well with other clothing or maybe its just a comfortable hat.

I have posted so many flat caps before so not much new to say, an old cap that still fashionable in today's world.

Stripey Cap

Stripey flat cap, because it a cap with stripey fabric, what more can I say

Many of these photographs prove I can use my finger to point. clever eh :)

Slitted cap

This Tudor shape flat cap is made from one piece of felt

 

The crown is slitted around the edge to give it a distinctive look.

This is hat is part of our groups larp kit and has been around for donkey's years (donkey years = an unspecified long time) and worn by many people.

Recently patched with a bit of felt and glue wear one of split hat torn through.

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.

Scally Cap

Guess from the photo below where this cap came from.

A gift from my mother as visited Ireland

In Ireland, flat caps go by many names such as Duckbill Hat, Paddy Cap, Pub Cap, Tweed cap, Cabbie cap and probably many more 

This one obviously for the tourist market is still a genuinely good quality hat

 Sporting a shamrock the symbol of Ireland or at least its patron saint, Patrick.

Duffer Cap

Duffer cap, more commonly called flat caps around here.

Flat caps as said before do have many names (see the previous post here) a new name I've recently discovered comes from New Zeeland where they are apparently called Cheese Cutters

Flat caps like baseball caps can be worn for many different occasions and work alongside many different outfits

This was a Christmas present from AndyH

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.

Shakespeare Might Have Made This

Another of the theatrical hats, this time a Tudor cow pat hat

No doubt an outcast from some Shakespearean production company.

A good all-round merchant to a noble hat to go with your Tudor costume

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.
