hat means: Headwear is commonly referred to as “hat” but it’s more common to use the generic term to mean a crown- and brimless headcovering. Hat makers are less likely to use the word hat to describe a cover that doesn’t tie below the chin. Toque is an ill-fitting hat with a small or no brim. The classic men’s hat styles are the fedora and the homburg. This is a thicker, more stiff felt hat that features a narrower brim, and has a hard front and back crease. (in Fashion Dictionary)
