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.

Turban Hat

This is what I'm calling a turban hat since its not piece of cloth wrapped around your head to make a turban, its formed ready to wear shaped hat, made to look turban like.

Made as a piece of theatre costume, I found this at Chow's Emperium while rummaging one day on her stall. 

Formed around a plastic skull cap with various fabric off-cuts and then decorated beads and feathers, getting a bit battered, but still good.

This hat is great for transporting you into some Arabian tale, such as Sinbad, Aladdin, Ally Baba and the forty thieves.

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.

My Yodelling Hat

Tyrolean Hat is a hat worn in the Alps of Austria, Italy, Switzerland etc. Also known as a Alpine Hat or Bavarian Hat

For that reason I'm Yodelling in the photo below.

The Tyrolean is almost always green, made of felt, small brim and decorated with a ring of cord and a spray feathers or flowers.

This hat was a gift from Dan a friend in my Larp group.

For some reason this hat inspired a clock maker persona.

PS I don't own any leather breeches (lederhosen) to go with this hat and create the full traditional costume look.

Grandee Hat Maybe

This hat style may have a name but I don't know it, the nearest equivalent I can see is Grandee or a tall Bolero hat.

Made by Fernández y Roche of Spain according to the label, I found it at a historical fayre TORM (the Original Re-enactors Market) in 2008, cost me £75, it is a quality hat, not a something from a fancy dress stall, used several times, this hat is well loved by me and its going to last a while.
