Ankh-Morpork Hat

This hat makes me think of characters from Terry Pratchett's Discworld novels

A fantasy wizards hat I found at a Harry Potter fair in my village

Made of some sort of thick cotton or wool fabric shaped over a former of some sort, but not felted.

The hats online blurb says women wizard hat, but I don't really understand why, it certainly fits and suits me.

Nice wide foldable brim, with a nice little kink in the point of the crown, gives this cheap hat a great look

Now off to practise my spell casting.

 

Black Hood

 Black hood with large mantle

I would like to say more, but see previous posts about hoods.

Black and White Hood

 Another hood, this one is made of thin cotton fabric and sewn in separate panels of black and white fabric.

The mantle that covers shoulders has the colour reversed, which gives a pleasant look.

The fabric really makes this more a fancy dress costume item than a historical reproduction or useful hood.

White Hood

This white hood made from some cotton-based fabric.

 Hoods are thought to have been imported from Normandy during the 12th Century. 

Medieval Hoods were mostly worn for protection against wind, rain, and cold weather, but in some cases, they were a protection from bladed weapons.

This white hood is not typical of a medieval hood because it ties at the front.

The ties at the front serve no obvious purpose, you don't need to loosen to get the hood on your head, you can't pull tighter to close against the wind, so the ties are purely a decorative item.
