A Hat for a Medieval Steward


While this style of hat is mostly considered peasant wear, even a single small feather can enhance it, this cap as also been enhanced by fur trim around the headband.


Not quite posh enough for royalty, this is the short hat that could be worn by castellan, steward or wealthy merchant character.

Railway Conductors Hat

The is railway conductors hat.


What makes this a conductor hat rather than just a military peaked cap is the combination extra height of the crown combined with the peak pointed downwards.


The hat probably would have a had badge on the front with the name of the railway the owner or network it belonged to. 


The pointing down peak perhaps was designed to intimidate or avoid eye contact while checking tickets, pure guesses on my part, similarly pointed down peaked are typical to military drill sergeants.

The above photograph was taken when I chauffered my youngest brother to his wedding.


This style of hat is also associated with higher ranking British police officers, postmen but then they come with added badgers and decoration.

Oriental Tall Hat

This hat was made by a friend as a surprise gift, I have good friends it seems.


The hat was inspired by a character in oriental movie, although I can't remember which one, probably used by some sort of official, priest or advisor.


A basic cloth hat with a stiffening material in it to allow it to stand upright, once your wearing it.

I regularly loose this hat by misjudging the height when walking through doorways.
