While there are not many official records of hats before three,000 BC, they probably were commonplace before that. The 27,000-to-30,000-year-old Venus of Willendorf figurine may describe a woman wearing a woven hat.^[4] One of the earliest known confirmed hats was worn by a Bronze Age man (nicknamed Ötzi) whose torso (including his chapeau) was found frozen in a mountain between Austria and Italy, where he had been since around 3250 BC. He was found wearing a bearskin cap with a mentum strap, made of several hides stitched together, essentially resembling a Russian fur lid without the flaps.^{[5] [6] [7]}

Ane of the first pictorial depictions of a hat appears in a tomb painting from Thebes, Arab republic of egypt, which shows a man wearing a conical straw lid, dated to effectually 3200 BC. Hats were usually worn in aboriginal Egypt. Many upper-form Egyptians shaved their heads, then covered information technology in a headdress intended to help them continue cool. Aboriginal Mesopotamians often wore conical hats or ones shaped somewhat like an inverted vase.

Hats equally an indicator of social status: a foreman (with horse) wears a hat of greater tiptop than the accompanying inquilino (19th-century Republic of chile).

Other early hats include the Pileus, a simple skull-like cap; the Phrygian cap, worn by freed slaves in Greece and Rome (which became iconic in America during the Revolutionary State of war and the French Revolution, as a symbol of the struggle for liberty against the Monarchy); and the Greek petasos, the first known hat with a brim. Women wore veils, kerchiefs, hoods, caps and wimples.

In the offset one-half of the 19th century, women wore bonnets that gradually became larger, decorated with ribbons, flowers, feathers, and gauze trims. By the cease of the century, many other styles were introduced, among them hats with broad brims and flat crowns, the bloom pot and the toque. By the centre of the 1920s, when women began to cut their hair short, they chose hats that hugged the head like a helmet.^[13]

The tradition of wearing hats to horse racing events began at the Royal Ascot in Britain, which maintains a strict dress code. All guests in the Royal Enclosure must clothing hats.^[fifteen] This tradition was adopted at other horse racing events, such every bit the Kentucky Derby in the U.s..^[xvi]

Extravagant hats were popular in the 1980s, and in the early 21st century, flamboyant hats made a comeback, with a new wave of competitive young milliners designing creations that include turban caps, trompe-l'œil-effect felt hats and tall headpieces fabricated of homo hair. Some new lid collections take been described as "wearable sculpture". Many pop stars, amidst them Lady Gaga, have commissioned hats as publicity stunts.^[17]

Inches or centimeters may be used depending on the manufacturer. Felt hats can be stretched for a custom fit. Some hats, like difficult hats and baseball caps, are adjustable.
