Might be the same hat, or different:

Can anyone identify the English names of the hat or hats in these Andreas Hofer portraits? Thanks so much.

There were many different regional styles from that time period. This looks like some type of shooting hat (Schützenhut) because of the rooster feather (Spielhahnfeder). The last photo is a different Alpine style.
