message: Academic ... in using the word crown it has issues of ambiguity. Disambiguation.  Is there alternative expressions that can be used here? billinghurst (talk) 05:07, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

I now have little confidence in most of this list, but some of the content is certainly correct, so I have kept the list.— Kan8eDie (talk) 23:32, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

message: Is it really necessary to have such a long list of something as lame as 'a list of people wearing a hat'? Or even a list at all? It may be harmless but I thought I would ask why any rational person is supposed to care whether or not some silly actors wear a hat...  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.91.187.62 (talk) 15:11, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

message: I know for a fact that the flat cap was once and still is to a degree popular in Ireland, and also can to a degree be seen as quintessentially Irish but does that really make it Irish itself?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cynfael Fendigaid (talk • contribs) 15:59, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

message: As for the reference to flat caps originating in parts of Southern Italy, it most likely deals with the so-called coppola, basically a flat cap which is typical of Sicily and of some other regions of Italy. It's not clear if present-day flat caps were introduced to Italy by the English in the 19th century but this word actually dates back to several centuries ago, when it used to refer to a typical cap sported by peasants and lower classes overall: the noun is also featured in some old Neapolitan dictionaries, for example in Vocabolario delle parole del dialetto napoletano che più si scostano dal dialetto toscano (1789), and we even have some popular examples of old-fashioned coppole associated with some historical characters (for instance Masaniello and his coppola rossa or red flat cap, as his cap is mentioned in a celebrated 18th century song entitled 'O cunto 'e Masaniello).
Present-day coppole actually come in the same style of British or American flat caps, probably because of the flat cap trend in the early 20th century which spread far beyond the USA and the UK. Nonetheless, the noun is much older than that in Italy and, in the past, it used to mean cap basically (firstly in Southern Italy), just like modern Italian berretto (cognate of English beret, but with a generic meaning of cap).--Teno85 (talk) 00:09, 23 October 2015 (UTC)

message: The flat cap is part of the traditional attire in Madrid. It became popular in the early part of the 20th century, together with the Schottische, and both are now part of the fixed "traditional" Madrid folklore.
