...and does anyone know the name for the flat, pleated cap/hat that is used by the military?

I don't know the name but I wore one while in the Boy Scouts. The Scoutmaster wore one we called a "Smokey" after "Smokey the Bear", more commonly known as a "campaign hat".

How about a "hood". (Well, it is headwear)

Try this site for hat types. Just scroll down to "II Types of Hat". Exhaustive!

http://www.prof-dev.okcps.k12.ok.us/coreunits/4hats.htm

Edit:

Hmm. can't get that link to open on one click for some reason. But if you right click on it and then click 'open in new window', that works OK.

Wow, dixbie, you hit the jackpot! (The link opened right up, for me--are you still having that trouble?) These were two of the things I learned:
*bonnet rouge: red cap worn during the French Revolution as a symbol of liberty.

*Phrygian cap: conical cap with the top bent forward, named for an ancient people of Asia Minor. It was worn as a symbol during the French Revolution and is now also known as the cap of liberty.


Helen, you should like Section C: Terms related to hat making.

--Hey, once again, I tricked the system without meaning to: I typed in {purple], but {/blue], and it did what I wanted it to.

Would this type of fashion also be known as Phrygian mode?

Always heard them as "fore-and-afts" or campaign caps.
