Fez like

This tapering hat is very fez like in shape, but lacks the tassel on top and is actually too tall,


however I suppose you might still call a fez.


A hat for use in War of the Roses medieval reenactment the shape can be seen in many contemporary illustrations.



I can't remember where I got this, as it was over 15 years ago but would have been a reenactors market no doubt.


Worn a couple of times, but never found a costume that it went with so ended up not being used much.

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

Not a Octopus Hat


This hat was described as Octopus hat however the seller cannot count as it only has 6 legs, so should really be Hextopus Hat.


Found in the £5 squid bin at the TORM the original reenactors market


The seller apparently thought it was hat they would never sell, been on their stall for a long time.


Basically looks like they cut up a wide-brimmed felt hat for some reason.


To make a hat that fits into no particular bracket.


Not sure what sort of idiot would buy this hat.... wait I did.
