Old White Hat

This a well battered white wool felt fedora.

The rolled-up brim makes it seem much shorter, so you could call a Trilby however that would be a mistake, Trilby are a subset of Fedoras and a should be a classy quality hat with a distinct look.

Maybe this once was a classy hat, maybe it is more Homburg.

But to battered to be a Homburg, also the crown does not seem tall enough.

I can't remember where this hat came from, but its been hanging around being crushed at the bottom a box and needs a use.

Story Tellers Hat

This hat is called a Kyrgyz and also known as the Ak Kalpak or White Kalpak, worn by people in central Asia

This is the national hat of Kyrgyzstan, Russian

Its also known by some as the storyteller's hat, it is mainly a hat worn by the nomadic men at festivals although for some in the region its everyday attire. This style hat is known only in Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan

Made of 4 padded panels of felt, this tall embroidered hat is supposed to resemble snow-covered mountains,

The 4 panels represent the four elements: air, water, fire, and earth. Where the panels meet represent the sun and life. There is also a tassel on the right part of the crossing which represents posterity and prosperity

One of the best things about this hat is it packs flat, the joints in the panels are butted together with no overlap so they fold easily

A hat to provide warmth in winter.

Another Fur Rimmed Hat

Following on from my last post here is another fur rimmed hat.

Not quite as furry as the last one, this one as a strip of artificial fur sewn onto a basic woollen beanie style cap

Norseman

This is a nice warm fur-trimmed hat 

It is not quite a full fur hat even though the fur trim forms most of the hat.

Fur-trimmed around a leather skull cap.

I have called it a Norse mans hat but this hat could have been made for any cold climate area.
