cavalier hat
Wide-brimmed, feathered
A cavalier hat is a wide-brimmed felt hat with one side pinned up, often decorated with an ostrich plume.
The style takes its name from the Cavaliers—royalist supporters of Charles I during the English Civil War—who wore such hats as fashionable dress.
Today cavalier hats appear mainly in period costumes and theatrical productions: She completed her musketeer costume with a cavalier hat and feather.
