A small channel dedicated to short histories of various hats, presented by a Franco-American historian and hat collector. I try to post a video in English on the first of the month, and one in French on the fifteenth. Hope you enjoy!

This video is elementary.
In the Netherlands train conductors sometimes wear these
Scally Cap in America
"Pagari" is actually the Hindi/Urdu word for "turban," and its early use on the pith helmet mirrors certain styles of turban worn by Indian troops.
There is also an expression, "Raag, rasoi, pagari kabhi kabhi ban jate hain": "Raga, cooking, and turban tying only work out sometimes."
listening to this I just had to turn my head and looked at our table where my deerstalker is lying as the other night it was heavy rain I put it down to drip after taking my dog's out for their late night last walk.
Outside, maybe, traditional areas in the souhwest corner of France (Pays Basque, Pyréenees), the beret has become a fashion accessory occasionally worn by some people (especially women, urban dwellers), but very few French people routinely wear it nowadays, you can spend several weeks in France and you'll see many more people wearing American style caps than berets. The last person I really saw really wearing a beret was my grandfather who would be 120-year old this year.
I absolutely love that this channel exists!
I hope one day you will do a video about cricket hats!
Thank you Sir.
I like the French beret style hat. The mortarboard, to be frank, looks cheap and nasty.
As an aside. The reason Sherlock Holmes has a curved stem pipe is a straight one wouldn't fit on the cover of the books.
That style is a Sherlock Holmes. My father wore a deer stalker and it had no flaps.
i dont know why youtube has presented me with this video but i quite enjoyed it
A few years ago I read a volume of Sherlock Holmes stories and I quickly realized that hat was the product of the illustrator and not the author of the stories.
This Canadian 🇨🇦 wants to see one about the "took" hat pompom and all!
I saw another hat guy on youtube. Waiting for the hatmeister showdown.
Very well done. I was worried when you started out by saying, "Elementary!" but glad you debunked it later on.
It is kind of a cool hat though
Et non le tarbouche n'est pas du makhnez, il est originaire des balkans, on retrouve le tarbouche dans des très anciennes pièces de Grèce bien avant que les expatriés Algériens l'apportent à Fez, preuve en est c'est que les amazighs ne se coiffent pas avec, il était réservé à un certain status.
Great video!!
3:35 "the overwhelming majority of people" --- of Americans, perhaps. But the American view of Holmes is a foreign one, and, in this respect, an inaccurate one. The association with Holmes is bogus. There are 60 Sherlock Holmes stories (I mean the genuine ones written by Conan Doyle and thus regarded as canonical), and only two have illustrations showing Holmes in a deerstalker. On those occasions Holmes wore it because he was in the country, not because he was going detecting.
The game is afoot.
I Love It!!!
this hat "mortier" was on the 13th century Sorbonne and in Italy students, one century before on Oxford students! but yet nice try to bias History!
Great videos! I appreciate your attention to detail, cleverness in costume, and willingness to research . Well done - your videos should be far more popular.
Mr hat historian can you please do a video on the trilby when you get a chance please?
great video! thank very much
😮this always looked like such a comfortable and useful hat.
More exploration of the cricket cap as the origin and its origin as a school cap would have been interesting. I enjoyed the video immensely. I am a great enjoyer and a long time player of both baseball and cricket, in the U.S., and live near one of the few cricket fields and leagues in the U.S.. I enjoy both games immensely. Anyway. Always enjoy yr hat videos. Keep them coming!
Yeah I always like Basil Rathbone and Peter Cushing as the best Sherlock Holmes. They both did a good job of showcasing the hat.
We had the baseball hat for over 100 years now you would think some other style would get started.
With the deer stalker on , you remind me so much of Dudley Moore in the 1978 movie Hound of the Baskervilles.
I can imagine that Amazon is suddenly experiencing an increase in searches for “deerstalker” hats.
This channel costume budget is through the roof
Hey hatHistorian, can you do a video about the peaked cap?
Would it be acceptable to wear a deerstalker with a kilt and argyle jacket?
for someone who doesn't like or wear hats, unless I have to... I really like your videos!
I often wonder about the history and origins of certain clothing items and I'm so glad I've found this channel! This will definitely be helpful :)
You wear it for the accidents you can't predict. Which is a problem, because most people think they already are predicting everything that will be happening to them in the next few minutes. In reality, though, there are so many unknown variables when riding a bicycle that it is impossible to be 100% capable of knowing what is going to happen next.
"In my fifty-mission cap I worked it in I worked it in to look like that It's my fifty-mission cap"
Bravo! Wonderful information and delivery as always. How do you not have more subscribers? Whenever I have a hat question, I always look to see if you have covered it first. (Go ahead, enjoy the pun)😅
In the TV series with Jeremy Brett as Holmes, he rarely wore a deerstalker.
Jeremy Brett is "my" Holmes😊
@@mountainclawoutdoors Agree. Having read all the Holmes books, Brett was by far the closest to the character. And Edward Hardwick was an excellent Watson. 🙂
The hat you refer to as 'similar to the deerstalker' is known as a shooting helmet. 😊
Brimless and visor-less military hats are to me the absolutely the most mystifying choice of uniform component ever to see widespread adoption, but thank you for this excellent historical summary and live demonstration.
With the flaps up and your ears exposed, you are better able to hear your own careful footsteps when stalking deer.
LOOK AT DAT FOOKIN HELMET
Audios a little low
I wear one of these most days in the Autumn and Winter - pretty much identical to the one you are wearing in this video. I manage a small estate in the northwest Highlands and find it practical and warm - except when driving a vehicle with seat headrests. I was given to understand many years ago, that before the term 'Deerstalker' was used to describe both styles you mention, this particular style was known as a 'Fore and Aft'.
omg Sherlock Holmes in the 22nd Century
When I was a child I'd use two baseball caps worn simultaneously in opposite directions to approximate a deerstalker while playing detective
Same!
Same as well
