FLAT HATS

Called a "flat cap" in England and worn by King Henry VIII, this style of hat made its appearance on the fashion scene in the 16th century. Queen Elizabeth exacted sumptuary laws around 1565 which ordered middle class citizens over 7 years of age to wear a flat cap on Sundays and holidays or pay a fine! It was popular in other countries as well; evidence in paintings shows both, Charles V, Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire and King Felipe of Spain wore flat hats in their youth and as adults.
Velveteen Flat Hat


This style of hat was worn by both men and women during the 16th century. Often it was worn alone, but there are paintings showing it being worn over a coif, caule or crispinette.
(See the Miscellaneous section for feathers to be worn with this hat)
