Hats are everywhere. Hats of all shapes, sizes, colors, and styles. Most of the time we don't even notice them. Sometimes we do. What do we call them? Usually, just "hats." But every kind of hat you can imagine has a proper name, one that we very rarely use to describe it. I thought it would be interesting to find out what some familiar (and some more obscure) hats are actually supposed to be called. And it was interesting. Very interesting. So I thought I would share my findings with you, dear Blog Reader, in the hopes that you will find this interesting as well. If not, then at least I've learned something new myself. Enjoy!

ReplyDeleteI was researching the correct name for the Indiana Jones hat on your blog when I stumbled across a photo of my girlfriend wearing the Tam O'Shanter between John Wayne and Harrison Ford!!! Small world, thanks for making us smile. Joe and Roberta :)
ReplyDeleteSmall world, indeed! I guess you never know where a publicly shared picture will end up! P.S. Please let me know if you want me to remove it. I just found it in Google Images and added it from there.
