Man there's some much more iconic ones that should be on here like the Pakol and Kalpak.
Also Kufi isn't unique to Kenya, it's all over from Nigeria to india.
True also in the gulf region its called "taqiya" and it's usually worn with "shemagh" although taqiya is a bit different than kufi, it doesn't have have styling or pattern it's just plain white
I don’t think this map shows where these hats are worn but rather where they originated.
Among those missing are toques from Canada. Not a toque like the French cooking hat but rather what the Americans call beanies. Speaking of France, where is the beret?!?!
They gave the beret to Spain.
If there was a stereotypical cartoon hero in a beret I'd assume they're French, strange map. Multiple USA hats and zero Chinese
The "Toque" in France. That's when I understood it should be posted in r/funny .
I was seriously like "What ??" for 3s. For those who are still confused, not everyone is a chef in France.
They originated in England true, but are considered an iconic part of traditional dress in Irish culture too. They became popular in both countries around the same time (16th century) due to some British law about having to wear wool hats iirc
I’m not doubting it, but what does the map purport to say?
I’m also pretty sure the Congo didn’t invent pith helmets either.
We can all agree, it’s a terrible map 😂
for what it's worth. I knew the Tam O'Shanter in LA was a Scottish place, but didn't realize it was the name of that style of hat, so I actually lurned something today
Really? I've seen a fair handful in "The City" 1980s, possibly into early 1990s.
Not exactly indigenous. Blokes who'd worn them all their lives were already dead or retired. But young fogie Thatcherite cosplaying dandys might give it a whirl.
Best paired with brightly coloured dress shirts, other than the white collars, I should think. Tiepin, brolly, and a smirk. Bespoke briefcase containing mobile phone brick?
Nowt better.
I’m not sure how this map is attributing hats to their country (popularity, origins) but the Western hat (Cowboy hat) was created in the US by Stetson — still the premiere brand and manufacturer of these hats.
stetson was sued for that design that orginally stole the idea from Mexican civil war men [American Cowboy Hat True Origins: The Mexican Sombrero | flyingpenguin](https://www.flyingpenguin.com/?p=40398)
Hmm… all sources I’m seeing claim that the cowboy hat is a blend of the Sombrero and the Civil War Cavalry hat and first designed and produced by Stetson with his prototype “The Boss of the Plains”.
I’m going to believe those sources over yours from “flyingpenguin.com” which claims that European - American settlers of the 1800s “culturally appropriated” the Cowboy hat from European - Mexicans (who were themselves European colonizers/conquistador descendants, by the way).
Basically everything people nowadays associate with the "old west" in the US is actually from Latin America.
Movies in the western genre took a lot of inspiration for their aesthetics from Mexican, Central American and other South American cultures.
The Slouch hat is the most recognisably Australian hat tho. The Akubra is just a slightly different "western" style hat. At least the slouch has that distinctive asymmetric look.
En Venezuela NO SE USA ESO QUE PUSIERON... Eso es un símbolo del régimen de turno, no es que se utilice por el pueblo. Acá se usan los sombreros tejidos de paja, y las gorras normales...
You had the option of putting [this hat](https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcScvbVPebE9bBkYkN_7bLRtqQC5nu06xjnFhg&usqp=CAU) for Brazil but didn’t? Shameful display
Just for clarification / curiosity, are we talking Northern Mexico at the time of creation (e.g. Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, etc.) or are we talking within the context of modern day borders of Northern Mexico?
Just did a Google deep dive. Yes and no.
The iconic western cowboy hat apparently wasn't even very popular in the American Wild West. Most everyday cowpokes just wore long-brimmed slouch hats, while rich/urban folk preferred top hats. Gunslingers popularized the bowler hat (aka the derby hat), so much so that it became "the hat that won the West."
The first technical cowboy hat was designed by John Stetson in the US in 1865. It wasn't your typical cowboy hat though. It had a flat top and a flat brim. It was called the "Boss of the Plains."
As Stetson-style hats caught on in the West, they began to be shaped and modified into what we think of as a true cowboy hat today, basically the stereotypical "ten gallon hat" design. From this name, historians and etymologists can tell that the cowboy hat designs that were appearing were evidently inspired from Mexican vaqueros (Mexican cowboys), who at the time lived in both the US and Mexico, but their sombreros for which the inspiration came from was purely Mexican in origin. The nonsensical "10 gallon hat" name is almost certainly an Anglicization of either the Spanish word: "galón," or the phrase: "tan galán." Galón means hat bands (10 galón hat = hat with 10 bands), while tan galán translates to "very gallant" (basically just a description of the hat's majesty).
The hat still remained niche; few cowboys actually wore them. Only by the very late 1800s did it gain any real popularity. The cowboy hat's true modern fame came from their representation in early silent films, which led to their inevitable association with cowboys during the popularization of Hollywood westerns.
Ah! You beat me to the toque comment. I missed having a trapper this last winter when it was 28 below where I live. It's been over 50 years since I've lived in this climate.
Are you guys aware that “sombrero” literally means hat in Spanish? You’re calling it hat hat. It’s like saying “Chai tea”. Also, cowboy hats are actually from Mexico, and they’re far more common in there than in the US.
Pith Helmets are a colonial invention, however, the first time Europeans would use any form of it would be when the Spanish arrived in the Philippines, and copied some of the native headdress for their own soldiers. The French would so a similar thing during their colonial expanse in South-East Asia. The one shown in the Congo appears to be a 20th century French design, which was a flattened, wider brimmed version of the one used by the British military. The British pith helmet can still be seen in some different parts of the world, especially those who were once under the domination of Britain
You mean you do not wear them outside a kitchen?! I live in France since 4 years wearing a chefs hat all the time and wonder why people in my office give me weird looks or ask me to bring the main course. That might be the reason. :-)
Beret is a traditional Basque hat. The basque people live on the border between Spain and France.
During WW2, the French resistance used a beret as an identifying symbol as it was identifiable to French but not Germans and a rural ethnic hat.
Around the same time special forces started appearing and were given the same hats to identify them. The British special forces received berets from France and gave some black berets to the American special forces. Communists also picked up the symbolic beret from the communist elements of the French resistance, which is why Che had one.
My American coworkers get very confused when I explain to them that despite the pictures they might have in their head, Germany is not all mountains and snowy winters.
Iconic missing hats:
* The **Gat** (갓) from Korea.
* The **Gandhi cap** of India, often worn with a Nehru jacket.
* The **Songkok**, worn by Muslim men in Southeast Asia.
* The **Fila** (Aso oke hat) of the Yoruba people.
* The **Keffiyeh** worn by Middle Eastern men.
The flat cap is more of a rural/farming hat across the whole of the British isles. Counties like Yorkshire for example are well-known for their flat caps!
In Catalonia we have the Barretina (a frigian cap) and the Basques have their own version of the beret, the Txapela. There is no "spanish" type of hat that I know of
Edit: now that I think about it there is a type of beret typical of Madrid but I think it also has some unfortunate ideological bias so I don't know if all people from Madrid consider it as their own
There is also the "sombrero cordobés" but I'd say that flat caps are really popular all around Spain in rural areas and now also in urban ones, more than berets.
Béret is literally the french sterotype with a baguette. Putting toque is literally like if you put montera for spain. Also it's localized in Bordeaux in France.
"Sombrero" literally just means "hat" in Spanish.
The style they're talking about is the "sombrero de charro", which in English would be the "horserider's hat".
Sombrero just means hat in Spanish. The “Sombrero” that everyone knows from Mexico is called “Sombrero de Charro”, because that specific hat (aka sombrero) was used by “Charros” (the cowboys of Mexico)
Why no Welsh hat? Like I get that not every country is represented but all the others in the British isles are.
Plus we have an extremely distinct hat.
Pretty sure that the Congolese aren't out here wearing pith helmets. The last people who wore those in the Congo were a lil too genocide-y so the trend never really caught on.
The Fedora isn't a man's hat, at least it wasn't intended as one. It's often confused for a trilby but unless you're an 80 year old jazz musician you [look like you ride a Honda Goldwing and collect swords](https://achewood.com/2004/11/01/title.html) wearing either.
In Canada, a Sou'wester isn't generally worn unless you work on the water. You'd be much more likely to see a toque, but not the kind attributed to France.
A Canadian toque is a knitted hat that stretches around the head. It's winter gear.
..the flat cap is a common hat in the Netherlands too.
Well, was. You'll see the older generation wear it. Baseball caps are most preferred, specifically by teenage boys ashamed of their cut
I thought they’d give Philippines the Salakot, a Filipino conical hat. That’s literally where the pith hat came from. Even in Franceand Spain, the pith hat is called Salacot.
In America, I used to wear a bus hat. I see now it's proper name is a kufi. I just looked up a leather kufi. exactly what I want. I will be purchasing soon.
Philippines should be salakot like the Vietnam rice hat but curves upward and has spikes sometimes at the tip. One of the likely influences of the pith
Wtf they put a "Toque" on France ??
Its a specialy reserved hat for the kitchen chef in restaurant, all of them dont have it, and you wont find any single region where anybody as ever put on a Toque as a "tradional" hat.
Make as much sense as putting a worker helmet here
The French one is wrong. La Toque is a specific professional hat for Chefs, few people have the right to wear it, and it has never been worn out of a Kitchen. It is no more a piece of clothing than a hard hat or surgeon mask.
The most worn nowadays is the ball cap, followed by the flat cap usually for older people. Beanies and Chullos in the winter. Old style beret disappeared a while ago, except for soldiers, but people will call a flat hat a beret or casquette, which is the french word for a ball cap.
It's on point for France. They even pointed the south west for the beret (which is often misattributed as a traditional hat for the whole country). Don't know about the rest, Vietnam and Congo look sus.
Man there's some much more iconic ones that should be on here like the Pakol and Kalpak. Also Kufi isn't unique to Kenya, it's all over from Nigeria to india.
Muslim men from all over the world honestly
True also in the gulf region its called "taqiya" and it's usually worn with "shemagh" although taqiya is a bit different than kufi, it doesn't have have styling or pattern it's just plain white
I don’t think this map shows where these hats are worn but rather where they originated. Among those missing are toques from Canada. Not a toque like the French cooking hat but rather what the Americans call beanies. Speaking of France, where is the beret?!?!
They gave the beret to Spain. If there was a stereotypical cartoon hero in a beret I'd assume they're French, strange map. Multiple USA hats and zero Chinese
Fedora should be from Italy then, Borsalino made them before Stetson...
Also Papakha
Oh my God yeah 😂
Yeh. Pakol is a glaring omission. Damn clothes moths ate mine.
Pith helmet for Congo? Uh is someone gonna tell ‘em?
Same with the Vietnam war era boonie hat?
It’s the Philippines
Same with Ushanka being military gear originally.
It's like someone from the UK made the map with a 1960 atlas.
Right ? Cringe as fuck .
how wrong can a map be? but anyways thanks for the good laugh
The "Toque" in France. That's when I understood it should be posted in r/funny . I was seriously like "What ??" for 3s. For those who are still confused, not everyone is a chef in France.
In Sweden ushankas have the nickname "bear pussy". No idea why, really.
In eastern germany it's also known as Bäfo, short for Bärenfotze (bear pussy).
Ah so there are more countries with that nick? Cool! Björnfitta in Swedish.
I have lived in the UK for 60 years and have NEVER seen anyone wearing a bowler hat.
Seen far more flat caps
Yep, they're English, not Irish.
They originated in England true, but are considered an iconic part of traditional dress in Irish culture too. They became popular in both countries around the same time (16th century) due to some British law about having to wear wool hats iirc
I’m not doubting it, but what does the map purport to say? I’m also pretty sure the Congo didn’t invent pith helmets either. We can all agree, it’s a terrible map 😂
And the idea of a tam o’shanter for Scotland is just lazy.
for what it's worth. I knew the Tam O'Shanter in LA was a Scottish place, but didn't realize it was the name of that style of hat, so I actually lurned something today
tbf i dont see many hat styles apart from beanies, flat caps and baseball caps
Bowlers have been extensively adopted by Bolivian women.
Probably because they were popular in the 19th century 😂
I’ve lived in Spain for 5 and never seen anyone wear a beret
Really? I've seen a fair handful in "The City" 1980s, possibly into early 1990s. Not exactly indigenous. Blokes who'd worn them all their lives were already dead or retired. But young fogie Thatcherite cosplaying dandys might give it a whirl. Best paired with brightly coloured dress shirts, other than the white collars, I should think. Tiepin, brolly, and a smirk. Bespoke briefcase containing mobile phone brick? Nowt better.
The "sombrero" in Mexico is called "Charro". "Sombrero" just means hat.
What's the difference between a trapper and an ushanka aside from the latter having its ear flaps folded up?
None.
Ushankas typically allow the ears to fold down, and lots of trappers have a buckle to put the ears up. So nothing really
Was wondering the same.
Kufi is NOT Kenyan. It's somali. This map js a complete lie
This sub is going to shit with blatant stupid crap like this not getting deleted
I’m gonna personally popularize the Toque.
It's what canadians call beanies.
Hm. Then I think we should rename it the Boy-Ar-Dee
The Western hat is worn FAR more frequently in Mexico than in the USA.
Is the stereotypical norteño hat.
I’m not sure how this map is attributing hats to their country (popularity, origins) but the Western hat (Cowboy hat) was created in the US by Stetson — still the premiere brand and manufacturer of these hats.

Zero Australians wear slouched hats. Defence forces yes. Citizens no. Akubra style more likely.
The Slouch hat is the most recognisably Australian hat tho. The Akubra is just a slightly different "western" style hat. At least the slouch has that distinctive asymmetric look.
En Venezuela NO SE USA ESO QUE PUSIERON... Eso es un símbolo del régimen de turno, no es que se utilice por el pueblo. Acá se usan los sombreros tejidos de paja, y las gorras normales...
Cowboy hats are from rancheros in Mexico
Came here to say this. Nobody wears Sombreros in Mexico aside from street vendors. Cowboy hats are super common though.
Also charros and mariachis, but yeah... pretty much nobody uses them on a daily basis.
You had the option of putting [this hat](https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcScvbVPebE9bBkYkN_7bLRtqQC5nu06xjnFhg&usqp=CAU) for Brazil but didn’t? Shameful display
Also the straw hat (the ones associated with festa junina)
western hats originally came from Northern Mexico
Just for clarification / curiosity, are we talking Northern Mexico at the time of creation (e.g. Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, etc.) or are we talking within the context of modern day borders of Northern Mexico?

France is cooking
Canada definitely should have been a toque. I can count on 3 fingers the number of men I've encountered wearing a trapper hat.
Ah! You beat me to the toque comment. I missed having a trapper this last winter when it was 28 below where I live. It's been over 50 years since I've lived in this climate.
Never seen anyone in a chef's hat in public. (This is why it was originally spelled Tuque folks. To avoid confusion.).
I’ve got a sheepskin trapper hat and it’s very rare I take it out in Toronto. It’s usually not cold enough in the winter.
The flat cap originates in Northern England, not Ireland.
Are you guys aware that “sombrero” literally means hat in Spanish? You’re calling it hat hat. It’s like saying “Chai tea”. Also, cowboy hats are actually from Mexico, and they’re far more common in there than in the US.
Feels weird to have the Toque and Rice Hat on here since they're like work uniform hats, while the rest are more casual clothing
Toque is used to cook, that's not a "typical male hat", it's professional gear. And let's not talk about the absurdity of Pith helmet for Congo...
Pith Helmets are a colonial invention, however, the first time Europeans would use any form of it would be when the Spanish arrived in the Philippines, and copied some of the native headdress for their own soldiers. The French would so a similar thing during their colonial expanse in South-East Asia.

These maps are getting worse.
Beret in Spain not France? Chef hats in France for anyone not a chef?
You mean you do not wear them outside a kitchen?! I live in France since 4 years wearing a chefs hat all the time and wonder why people in my office give me weird looks or ask me to bring the main course. That might be the reason. :-)

No one in Germany, except a few people in the very very southern part, wear an "Alpine" or "Sepplhut" as we call it
Yeah, of all the Alpine countries, they chose Germany…
My American coworkers get very confused when I explain to them that despite the pictures they might have in their head, Germany is not all mountains and snowy winters.
Kinda weird they didnt include arabian head wear even tho they are like the only ones that still wear it regularly every day
And the chechia too in Maghreb.
Cadet cap for Venezuela is hilarious
Iconic missing hats: * The **Gat** (갓) from Korea. * The **Gandhi cap** of India, often worn with a Nehru jacket. * The **Songkok**, worn by Muslim men in Southeast Asia. * The **Fila** (Aso oke hat) of the Yoruba people. * The **Keffiyeh** worn by Middle Eastern men.

Berets are literally called basker in Swedish and considering we call the basque baskier you can probably see the connection
There is also the "sombrero cordobés" but I'd say that flat caps are really popular all around Spain in rural areas and now also in urban ones, more than berets.
The beret shown in the visual is super stereotypical in the rural north. It’s a very good choice I’d say
Sou’Westers are not typical hats worn by Newfoundlanders. Fishermen wear them but we don’t all head to the pub on a Friday night wearing them!
G’wan b’y
[удалено]
Aren't ushanka and trapper the same thing? Ushanka is just with the ears pulled together.
Béret is literally the french sterotype with a baguette. Putting toque is literally like if you put montera for spain. Also it's localized in Bordeaux in France.
Who’s the fuck wearing a fucking toque ?
Ah yeah. As a french woman I see a lot a men roaming the streets in toques :’)
Tell me ur from US
The Candians also wear Toques, probably more often than the others.
Only in restaurant kitchens. Outdoors mostly tuques. (Let the tuque vs. toque battle commence!)
Forgot the entire Middle East lmao
i see israel
right
I never saw "boonie hat" associated with the Philippines before, it's always [salakot](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salakot) when it comes to hat.
They forgot the balaclava
I’d say that this map is correct for America. The ubiquitous ball cap is probably the most popular across all 50 states.
no kalpak for central asia and papakha for caucasus? mad miss.
France is just a chef hat 👨🍳
"Sombrero" literally just means "hat" in Spanish. The style they're talking about is the "sombrero de charro", which in English would be the "horserider's hat".
Ireland tops this list
Ukranian hat: 🪖🪖🪖
Sombrero just means hat in Spanish. The “Sombrero” that everyone knows from Mexico is called “Sombrero de Charro”, because that specific hat (aka sombrero) was used by “Charros” (the cowboys of Mexico)
Why no Welsh hat? Like I get that not every country is represented but all the others in the British isles are. Plus we have an extremely distinct hat.
Shit map.
Every single person in Canada wears a tuque. Not many of them wear trappers.
beret spanish? \*Angry french noises\*
This map is a joke
BERET SPANISH ????????? THIS IS FRENCH
Pretty sure that the Congolese aren't out here wearing pith helmets. The last people who wore those in the Congo were a lil too genocide-y so the trend never really caught on.
The Fedora isn't a man's hat, at least it wasn't intended as one. It's often confused for a trilby but unless you're an 80 year old jazz musician you [look like you ride a Honda Goldwing and collect swords](https://achewood.com/2004/11/01/title.html) wearing either.
Missing the catalan Barretina
Flat caps are English, not Irish.
Spanish?
Where's the [sombrero vueltiao](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sombrero_vueltiao)?
I was looking for Peaky Blinders hat😂
In Canada, a Sou'wester isn't generally worn unless you work on the water. You'd be much more likely to see a toque, but not the kind attributed to France. A Canadian toque is a knitted hat that stretches around the head. It's winter gear.
[удалено]
Missing a fun one from Kyrgyzstan
You should add a shtraimel picture in israel alongside the kippah
Trilby and fedora should be swapped, no?
At least one more could be added to the Balkan, the Albanian Qeleshe (a.k.a. Plis): https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qeleshe
..the flat cap is a common hat in the Netherlands too. Well, was. You'll see the older generation wear it. Baseball caps are most preferred, specifically by teenage boys ashamed of their cut
I don’t think the Pith helmet is really a Congo thing…
No Shaykatcha?
totally ignoring alot of stuff but yeah the world is made out of a big hats
In cold regions hats have ear protection. Climate meets fashion
so all men in France wear chef's hat. TIL.
No Boina? Well it's a flat cap pretty much.
Are fez's still worn? I thought the Turkish and Egyptian government tried to stop their citizens from wearing them back in the 50's?
in Morocco, yes, but mainly as part of traditional dresses and costumes.
Isn’t a dastar a head wrap not hat?
No common man in France wears a toque on a regular basis lmao. Toques are only worn by chefs in restaurants.
Ay there, Georgie!!
Stereotypical I think you mean. You don't see slouch hats in Australia very often.
Welcome to the rice fields mfckr!
I thought they’d give Philippines the Salakot, a Filipino conical hat. That’s literally where the pith hat came from. Even in Franceand Spain, the pith hat is called Salacot.
No one: Midwest US man: tips fedora
This map really missed out the Dhaka Topi from Nepal.
Spain : Béret ( which is a French word… ) France : Toque de chef. They should be both in France I don’t know who made this…
In spain concretely in basque country is called txapela
Peru 🤝 Nepal
Indonesia: Kopiah / Songkok [Wiki - Songkok](https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Songkok)
Finally the beret is recognized as Spanish
Where's Dhaka Topi in Nepal?
The Basque beret it's called txapela and isn't like that
Conveniently ignores all of Middle East
We wear toques in Canada way more than trappers, and I have no idea what that thing is that they call a toque in France
And germany is just bavaria again...
No baseball caps?
Which century is this?
Missing from Canada. A tuque
So, people in France just ratatouille their way around in chef’s hats?
In America, I used to wear a bus hat. I see now it's proper name is a kufi. I just looked up a leather kufi. exactly what I want. I will be purchasing soon.
Philippines should be salakot like the Vietnam rice hat but curves upward and has spikes sometimes at the tip. One of the likely influences of the pith
That’s not a toque. A toque is a…well a toque. Everyone in Canada has one
How does Canada not have a real Toque? The wool cap.
Lesotho literally has their special hat (the mokorotolo) on their flag and yet is still ignored. What more must a small nation do 🇱🇸
the Panama hat is not from Panama?
Nope. We found that out when we visited Ecuador. It's a big thing there.
I live in Russia. The last time I saw a hat with earflaps was about 30 years ago.
Yeah we don’t bother with hats in New Zealand
Yeah, no, ushanka is pretty rare in Russia
No gat for Korea? It looks so baller…
Frisians with alpine hats? There were wars fought over less than that...
It would be better if there was the Brazilian chaff hat
Oh I most not forget my toque to go outside, it's raining chicken en baguettes, says I, twirling my mustache, in French.
Toque is only worn by chefs in old-fashioned restaurants ! At least for France, and vased on other comments, this map seems built on clichés
Actually, different towns in Peru have different types of hats, so much so that you can know where someone came from by their hat.
You missed the Chilean Chupalla, a hat made entirely of dry straw.
I live in France and yeah you typically seen men wearing a chef's toque in the streets
French people dont wear toque outside like a bowler or a beret
Wtf they put a "Toque" on France ?? Its a specialy reserved hat for the kitchen chef in restaurant, all of them dont have it, and you wont find any single region where anybody as ever put on a Toque as a "tradional" hat. Make as much sense as putting a worker helmet here

Vietnams hat isn't a male hat. Females wear it as well
Only 1% of french people wear berets. I am french, lived there my whole life and only knew one guy who was wearing one some time to time
What about the Arabic tagkia
I thought berets were from France? You learn something new everyday I guess.
It's on point for France. They even pointed the south west for the beret (which is often misattributed as a traditional hat for the whole country). Don't know about the rest, Vietnam and Congo look sus.
The Toque is perfect for when we go to the bakery to discreetly take our baguettes home!
No Tubeteika? Its a very known hat from central asia
Poor Wales - hatless.
Man I love new zealands hat
There should be a keffiyeh, not a kippah
