Names for different hat styles

[HistWardrobe]

Does anybody know what the period term for the 1930s-early 40s hat style that sort of looks like something Robin Hood or Peter Pan might wear? Here's an example, posted by Marc Chevalier in his thread on "The Way We Wore"

Love this style but am not sure of the correct terminology for it.

Also, are those late 30s - early 40s ladies fedoras with the slightly pointed crown, and slanted shaping (shorter brim in back than in front) properly termed fedoras or did they have another name? Here's an example, one of my favorite eBay finds, ca. 1938

Huntman's hat for ladies?

Good question-

Here's one you might fancy, from 1938- a total exaggeration and 'fashion' interpretation of the Robin Hood/Tyrolian/Alpine style and very cool indeed.
All felt, complete with felt 'feather'.

I adore that hat, BellyTank!!!!

HistWardrobe, I believe that style would be called a Tyrolean as BellyTank said or a Swagger hat.

Correct-

Now that I found where that image came from, I have added the original caption to it- above.

Tyrolian/Tirolian indeed.

haha, I was looking at the Vogue pattern for a hat like that yesterday. Those styles are too cute.

Oh, my, was it a vintage pattern or a reproduction? I'm always in awe of 30's hats!!

That may be one of the most remarkable hats I have ever seen! I'll run down the hall and see if my hat book has the name for that style.

The hat in Vintage Vogue pattern 8175 looks kinda like that one. It has a pleated crown instead of a blocked crown.

But if you make it up in green with a pheasant feather...it is pretty close, no?

Oh my gosh, I totally forgot to do it yesterday. I'll get on it monday. My book's at work.

Ok, It looks like it's just called a Fedora, but if it has a shorter brim with a tall crown it's called a Tyrolean, or Alpine.

Thanks!

THANKS, Lauren!
