Trucker Hat

Shouldn't the Trucker hat/feed hat be included? it even has a wiki entry. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.65.230.113 (talk) 21:13, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Poodle Hat

Someone wrote poodle hat in the list of popular hats. It liks to the weirdal album. Take that crap off the article.

It's called "vandalism", and if we reported every instance of it, wikipedia would take up 10TB on the servers.

Oliver Sacks reference is stretching things

The book by Sacks contains nothing relevant to a discussion of hats, so I removed it. Yes, it's about (among other things) a man who would mistake his wife for all manner of objects, one of which was hats—but this isn't Wiki-Google we're working on, people. If people want to know about Oliver Sacks' work, or about the stage play based on that work, I seriously doubt that they're going to start with the article on hats. Buck 20:56, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

Graduate hat or "grad hat" ?

A widespread opinion says that it is possible to find anything on internet. Perhaps ! But I disperately search an historical explanation about the origins and the "why" of this strange (and ridiculous) square hat used to put on the head of the graduated students of universities.

Who invented it ? When ? Why ? Symbolism ?

Thanks --Sonusfaber 07:15, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

Nothing to do with graduates. It is a hat worn by all students, and only a generation ago (still post-war) was mandatory for all students (gowns were only made optional for lectures a few decades ago); they are still worn daily by many undergraduates. Kan8eDie (talk) 03:16, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

Hatter?

I thought a hatter is someone who made hats; isn't someone who sells men's hats a haberdasher?Jim Lacey 19:26, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

Jim last edited in 2015, and this comment is much older than that. So I'm replying to the comment, not the commmenter.

A milliner designs and makes hats. I think milliners are mostly concerned with women's hats; men go to a hatter's. A hatter makes and sells hats. Men's hats are not fashion items, generally; they don't need designing.

I understand that The Mad Hatter from Alice In Wonderland was mad because of the mercury that was used in the hat-making trade (turn of phrase: "mad as a hatter"). I might be able to find a citation for that in "The Annotated Alice".

Haberdashery is nothing to do with hats; it's the selling of supplies for seamstresses (no gender-bias intended, I've just never heard of a seamster"), knitters, embroiderers, weavers and so on. Haberdashers sell thread, wool, buttons zips and other closures, bindings, quilting materials, needles, that sort of thing.

Images of hats

A while ago I was looking for the name of a certain hat and referred to this page as a quick way to find it. Alas, it was very difficult and in the end I didn't find the answer from this page. The reason is that there are no images available next to the text descriptions on the list, and therefore it requires the reader to actually read through the whole list to even have the slightest idea of what each piece of headgear looks like. I propose a table with images on the right-hand side, which will contain an image for each and every type of hat in the list (as long as one exists on Wikipedia). The table will have 2 or 3 columns in order to match the height of the list entries. Thoughts? -- Ynhockey ^(Talk) 07:27, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Good idea - but I don't know about a table. There are loads of photos of hats on Wiki Commons. Each style of hat should have a thumbnail photo illustrating it.--Gilabrand (talk) 17:27, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

I saw that you'd added images, Gilabrand. I know you said you didn't like the idea of a table, but I think it looks a lot neater with it than without it. If the consensus is to remove it, of course I'll abide by that, but see what you think. -- JediLofty ^{User ¦ Talk} 14:55, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Actually, it looks very good! Feel free to add more images if you come across appropriate ones. I don't think the same hat should appear twice, though. If there are several names for the same hat, they should be merged --Gilabrand (talk) 15:11, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

I was umming and aahing over that. It's really a UK/US thing - in the UK they're more commonly known as a bowler, whereas in the US it's a Derby. At least that's my understanding. -- JediLofty ^{User ¦ Talk} 15:27, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Well, I'm from the U.S. (East Coast) and we always called it a bowler.--Gilabrand (talk) 15:33, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

hat types

I don't think this page should be limited to hats that have an article on Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a complete resource on ANY subject. If there are hat types with a reference (and preferably a photo), I don't see why they should be removed. Tilt hats, for example, date back to the 1940s. Other types I just thought of are cloche hats and bellboy hats, and of course there are more.--Gilabrand (talk) 11:04, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

It would get absurdly long if every single hat were here. There's a separate list of hats linked at the bottom as well.LRT24 (talk) 08:11, 10 February 2011 (UTC)

Is there not a distinction to be made between "hats" and "caps"? The article does not seem to recognize any such distinction. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.36.157.242 (talk) 18:50, 27 August 2020 (UTC)

Material Hat can be made of

I reverted a change that said "Some hats are made of leather." If we start adding the different materials that hats can be made of this article will have a lot of useless information. Where would we draw the line as to what materials would be listed and what materials wouldn't be listed? I do not believe we need to individually list any materials that a hat can be made of. (in response to comment left on my talk page about my revert) Jons63 (talk) 22:57, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Look at the IP edits I reverted today. What you reverted was just a continuation of that vandalism. It's non-notable to list common materials that hats can be made of. Good change. →Wordbuilder (talk) 23:01, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

So should we remove the part in which they list a few types of hats and how to clean them? Where do we draw the line there? Just because you two know that hats can be made out of leather doesn't mean everyone does. If I put what electrons could be made out of on the electron page you may not take objection, but it seems obvious to me. MajorAwesome (talk) 23:07, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Yes, I already removed it also after you brought it to my attention on my talk page. Jons63 (talk) 23:10, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

I'm hard-pressed to believe your edits are in good faith, MajorAwesome. You started off adding, "Some hats are made of leather, however not all things made of leather are technically hats". Now, you're claiming to be a "milliner of leather hats" in Auklington, New Zealand. There is no such place and your IP returns to the University of Toronto. →Wordbuilder (talk) 23:18, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Wordbuilder, I would think that someone with skill for pedantry that you pocess would have noticed that I never said that I was a in Auklington, I merely associated myself with my hat shop which is in Auklington. Now I am sure that you did a quick google search for Auklington and didn’t find it so now you are sure it does not exist. But of course you know that no amount of failed searching can prove that something does not exist. This is not the issue which most concerns me. What concerns me the most is that Jons63 removed the hat cleaning section for no real reason. If he thought that something in there might not be true he should ask for it to be cited, no? I don’t think that he can remove useful and non obvious information just because he doesn’t like it, I think this was not ok. MajorAwesome (talk) 02:49, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Per this, I am done here. →Wordbuilder (talk) 03:05, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

I have a hard time believing that your intentions in good faith either. It seems like you are now looking for reasons to remove this section (which I did not even write) just to spite me. I am putting it back and then the page will be the same as it was before I made any changes. MajorAwesome (talk) 18:00, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

OK I think this getting out of hand perhaps you guys (Jons63 and WordBuilder) could explain something to me. I know you think that I am a troll or a vandal or whatever but please hear me out. I understand that you took issue with my original edits, however I have let that go and am not pursuing that anymore. I don't think that the hat cleaning section is a howto it just list some ways in which some hats can be cleaned. Like if the bread page listed some ways to leaven bread. I know that you do not agree however I don't see why your opinions should trump mine. And why my thinking these three lines of text are appropriate is considered "vandalism". Also this section existed for quite sometime unperturbed until you two got annoyed with me. Please explain, and not just by saying "Wikipedia is not a howto". Respectfully, MajorAwesome (talk) 18:22, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

To begin with, I have never said you were a troll/vandal and never thought you were a troll/vandal. I assume that your edits are in good faith. Now onto the subject. I had read the article prior to you editing it, but don't even remember the part about cleaning. You brought it up and I reviewed it and saw it was similiar (as you pointed out) to the line you had added. I felt (and still feel) that it is unneccessary to tell people howto clean hats. It was also poorly written and unsourced as I stated in my edit summary when I first deleted it. Maybe my edit summary didn't make it clear, my primary reason was that it was unnecessary. If you can give a reason why it should be in, I am willing to listen, but just because it was there untouched for a period of time doesn't mean it should remain. If we were to put it back in the article, where would we draw the line as to which materials we would tell people how to clean? What about different manufacturers of hats, what if their cleaning method for a material is different, then do we tell how to clean that manufacturer's hats specifically? Jons63 (talk) 18:44, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Military

Interesting article. Seems to be missing the cap worn by most Western police and by nearly every military in the world in in dress uniform: front hard black bill, with round soft "cover" often with "chin strap" built in. Forked article missing that as well. Military articles are having to invent their own terminology since their is no formal widely understood name, and no article either.

Women's hat styles

Agreed! :) One of my personal favourites is the Gainsborough hat from Georgian and Victorian times and I would love to see it featured here. According to this page, which gives a thorough list of many hats (though does not feature many images or short descriptions), the article for the Gainsborough has yet to be created, but I noticed that's the case with lots of women's hats. 'Tis sad when I think of how women are likely the more influential gender in the ongoing progression of fashion! :) Wiki.eleanor (talk) 18:36, 23 April 2011 (UTC)Bellavittoriana, 23rd April, 2011

I third this - the article should be renamed men's hat styles :) or have both some pictures of women wearing hats and styles specific to women - the only ones I noticed were cloche and fascinator as entries in types of hats. There are women's hat styles here on List_of_hats_and_headgear which are not included in this hat page, and seem like they should be. Gramery (talk) 18:47, 22 July 2011 (UTC)

Sizes

I don't quite get the "size" table. Is there any reason we don't include the standard sizings (US, UK, French)? It would be useful, for example, to be able to look at the article and what a size 7⅝ hat means. (I mention this because I noticed something about Bruce Bochy having a size 8¾ hat, and that struck me as perhaps unreasonable.) --jpgordon^{::==( o )} 06:04, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

Caubeen

The caubeen was and is an Irish hat, and has been known as that for several hundred years. It has been mentioned dozens of times in novels, short stories, songs and newspaper articles from the end of the 18th century. It has always been distinctively Irish - there was never a British or English caubeen, and the name comes from the Irish language. I can provide at least a dozen references for this. After the visit of George IV to Ireland in 1821 it was often regarded by English journalists as the headgear of a peasant who dressed in an old-fashioned style. At some time, around 1900, the name was adopted by the British for a DIFFERENT kind of headgear, military. But this is an aside to the origins and description of the caubeen as such.

Deerstalker anachronistically associated with Holmes?

In what way is the deerstalker's association with Sherlock Holmes anachronistic? Even the Wikipedia article on Holmes references the Paget drawings which depict Holmes in the deerstalker. The drawings were contemporary to the stories, accompanying them in The Strand. An argument might be made that it is erroneously assocsiated with Holmes since the deerstalker is never mentioned specifically by name in the stories, but he is described wearing a hat fitting the description of a deerstalker, as explained in Wikipedia. I removed the anachronistic claim as I see no justification for it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.102.16.128 (talk) 20:35, 14 August 2011 (UTC)

The association of Sherlock Holmes with deerstalker caps is mainly due to his being portrayed as often wearing one in films and on stage. Only one or two of the Sidney Paget Illustrations that appeared in the Strand Magazine accompanying the original Holmes stories showed him wearing a deerstalker, and always in the country, not in London where Holmes wore the correct tophat of the Victorian city man, or in more casual settings, a fedora. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.212.80.149 (talk) 23:31, 11 June 2013 (UTC)

List of hat types and article split for discussion

The article as it stands seems pretty unwieldy, which is why I was surprised that two separate users (ie, User:Cramyourspam (who explicitly says they cannot be reached for comment) and User:Gilabrand reverted a pretty logical, appropriate article split (by User:Xyz7890 which transferred a huge table with lots of images to an article of its own. The explanation from Cramyourspam was: "good jumping-off point to obscure wikilinked types" - which surely describes the reasoning behind List of hat types. We already have LOTS of picture files on Hat as it is, so anything that reduces load time or makes the reader experience a bit more intuitive is surely a good thing. I see a case for a VERY much shortened list on this oage of the MOST widespread styles of hat, with a link to the longer list/table but vague entries like "Mother of the Bride Hat" (with an equally random picture, I see...) don't really help any...

Request separate articles for women's hats & men's hats

At this point (2014-Jun-07), most of the images identifying hats are pictures of men's hats, but much of the text is about women's hats with some women's hats shown on the side. The subject of hats is so broad that it makes sense to have separate articles about men's & women's hats, which historically have been quite different in many cultures, though less so in recent years in the West. As the article grows & expands, mixing the hats of both sexes would make it a daunting task to locate & identify a particular type of hat. An alternative would be separate men's & women's sections in this article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aimzzz (talk • contribs) 13:55, 7 June 2014 (UTC)

Parts of a hat

I have removed this section:

---

Woman in a Flowered Hat, Renoir: Straw hat with brim decorated with cloth flowers and ribbons

A hat consists of four main parts:

• Crown - The portion of a hat covering the top of the head
• Peak (British English), visor (American English), or bill, a stiff projection at the front, to shade or shield the eyes from sun and rain
• Brim, an optional projection of stiff material from the bottom of the hat's crown horizontally all around the circumference of the hat
• Puggaree (British) or sweatband or hatband (American), a ribbon or band that runs around the bottom of the torso of the hat. The sweatband may be adjustable with a cord or rope at the top and is on the inside of the hat touching the skin while the hatband and puggaree are around the outside.
  

---

It is poorly sourced and badly worded. I don't think "crown" means what is claimed, and the other three parts are all optional and perhaps also misnamed. The source for "four main parts" does not support the contention; the two sources for "Puggaree" are not reliable and do not correspond to the reliable dictionaries accessible from onelook "puggaree". Maybe Australian English has extended the definition of "puggaree" to encompass the slouch hat, but it's still an outlier. jnestorius^(talk) 15:58, 31 March 2015 (UTC)

History ideas

There have been major changes in the prevalence of hats; pictures of Boston in the 1800s showed nearly every man wearing one, but these days few would be. Wearing of hats in the U.S. in professions such as nurses, maids, and soda jerks was once common but is now rare, but is still seen among train conductors and police (though perhaps to a lesser degree). Baseball hats have become widely popular in the U.S. among non-baseball players, and military headgear transitioned from tri-corner hats to front-brimmed short cylinder hats and helmets. -- Beland (talk) 21:39, 15 May 2015 (UTC)

I think the article would benefit from a link to the wimple article where it says wimple. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bestgrl (talk • contribs) 07:20, 4 April 2018 (UTC)

Double fractions in table

Just what is a double fraction such as 23½⅝ supposed to mean? --Khajidha (talk) 17:23, 12 April 2018 (UTC)

This text at in the "Size" section does not have a citation and seems to be a personal opinion or experience.

"Traditional hat size is worked out by adding the fore and aft and side to side measurements (in inches) then dividing by two."

It also makes no sence with the chart that follows because that method does not seem to be used at all for establishing a hat size.

Suggest it be omitted until a reliable citation can be found. Fred3f (talk) 16:12, 30 August 2018 (UTC)

There are many different brands of hats that are produced around the world. Some of the most famously known are Bailey, Goorin, Christys’ Of London, New Era, Lock & Co. Hatters, Past Present, Borsalino, Barbour, Brixton, and Larose. Most of these companies have been producing hats for almost one hundred years. Bailey manufactures their hats in Hollywood and have making hats since 1922. Some hat companies, such as Christys’ Of London, were converted from making hats to making helmets for the military during World War Two. Other hat companies such as New Era have been making hats designed for sport players since the 1920’s. However, the oldest hat maker still producing hats today is Lock & Co. The company was first founded in the 1600’s and arguably makes the finest hats in the world. Many companies focus on one certain hat, however some companies like Past Present produce many hats that focus on a larger group of people. There are many companies that make hats of all shapes and sizes that can fit anyone’s stile.

Change the Beanie description of the list to "A close-fitting brimless cap," etc. Why? Because dictionaries say a beanie is close-fitting. Also, because the page knit cap states "Most knit caps (or beanie hats) are tapered at the top. The stretch of the knitting itself hugs the head, keeping the cap secure." And lastly, it is to avoid confusion with the toque, which is often on the side of "loose on top". Football World Champions (talk) 04:11, 28 May 2021 (UTC)

 Not done: I think you've gotten the two confused here. Knit cap is about the toque, while beanie (seamed cap) (the section in this article) is about the hats with the triangles that look like this: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a2/Noogler.png. I do see "close fitting" in dictionaries for beanies as in toques: [1], and the naming of these articles is kind of strange to me, but that's outside of the scope of this edit request. I have edited the article to make this clearer, though. ‑‑Volteer1 (talk) 09:07, 28 May 2021 (UTC)
