Bugatti Cap

This is a Bugatti Cap, essentially a flat cap combined with ear flaps like a trapper hat

It has earlaps that can be worn up making look like a traditional flat cap look or pulled down to warm your ears when the temperatures drop.

More importantly, the ear flaps tie together at the bottom with a button or press stud which keeps the hat on even in strong winds or while you're driving your open-topped sports car

Bugatti caps are normally made of a tweed fabric like this one 

I assume although I may be wrong the cap is named after the Bugatti cars which built its first racing car 1905.

Shooting Cap

This flat cap was found in old suitcase on a flea market store selling all sorts of miscellaneous bits.

Its from a tweed style fabric making it more of a county mans flat cap of the sort worn by shooting set, even the likes of Prince Charles could be seen in this style of cap.  

This cap is from quite a bright tweed and feels like I should be out in the summer sun driving an old open top sports car, or maybe golfing.  Since I don't own a sports car or a set of golf clubs I guess I will have just use it as a walking cap.

Note to self, need to wear this hat more.

Sherlock Holmes Left His Hat Behind

The deerstalker through its association with Sherlock Holmes has become stereotypical headgear for early detectives. 

Its a hat is also still used in rural areas of Britain but dates from the Victorian era when you wore correct fashion to do your deer hunting.

The deerstalker was possibly first associated with the character of Sherlock Holmes in a 1899 play, but it was a book cover illustration that probably cemented the two together. Although it may have been several Basil Rathbones films that final pegged them permanently together.

Made of usually of tweed with its distinctive fore and aft brims and ear flaps that are usually seen tied up at the top of the hat rather than over the ears and tied under the chin.
