Talk:List of headgear

message: 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 ?

text: I've added the liripipe, which is certainly the term for the hood in the academic gown, although it was far more commonly used in the 13th-15th century as a functional hood with built-in scarf. It could function as a shaped snood, but also be rolled into a hat, becoming the precursor of the chaperon. The generic hood was its precursor.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.213.9.109 (talk) 02:35, 1 September 2020 (UTC)

message: Anyone know anything about the huge sheepskin hats once worn in the Caucasus? They don't seem to be on the list, and I've been trying to find out for a long time what they're called. You can see a picture of a man wearing one in the article on Ossetians, for example. Please add even a dead link with a small description if you know what it's called!  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.208.120.38 (talk) 00:32, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

message: I'm interested in the Chinese workers cap popularised by Chairman Mao and worn as standard dress by the peasants and workers. Does anyone have any further information on this? I've seen it refered to as a "liberation" cap, as it was worn by the peoples liberation army. Does any one have a link to an online shop selling similar ones? (Not cheap novelty copies). Thanks. 82.133.90.141 (talk) 10:45, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

message: Does anyone know what the hat worn by the guy in this image is called?
I've looked through the entire list here on Wikipedia and I couldn't find one that seemed to match it.

thread_title:  Large baggy top hat? 

message: Some hats are recognizable but I can't for the life of me find their proper names.  Peter pan's hat (google image search), and an elf hat (which is akin to a jester's hat) come to mind.  
By the same token, I have spent a good deal of time looking at a large segment of these hats to ascertain that the aforementioned hats aren't named here.  It would be helpful if we could make a gallery of hats and/or group them according to style.  Ideas?  -- ke4roh (talk) 00:32, 14 November 2010 (UTC)

message: The picture shows a woman wearing a snood and the photo description confirms this. A schpitzel, according to the wikipedia page, is a hat with some attached hair. That page also wrongly shows a woman wearing a snood instead of a schpitzel. Ehgarrick (talk) 02:14, 3 August 2017 (UTC)

Unofficial, maybe, but headgear for some of them, yes. 
Should it be in this article? I think probably not, but want to hear what you think (apart from the fact that it's well funny).

replies: text: I'm a devoted Patafarian (um, lost the Spagetti Monster token from my car), but, let's face it, it's a satirical religion and a satirical hat, even though Austrian Pastafarian Niko Alm won the legal right to be shown in his driving license photo wearing a pasta strainer on his head. Other people and attorneys have both won and lost similar requests in similar situations. At this time, in my view, this doesn't belong in a list of well-recognized hat styles.

message: In the "other headdresses" section, the miter is listed as womenswear. I'm not enough of an expert on them to claim that they've never been worn by women in any context, but in popular culture they are most strongly associated with popes and bishops, who are necessarily male. Can we move it to the section that would represent it as such? 131.229.236.145 (talk) 19:37, 3 November 2022 (UTC)
