A Greek fisherman’s hat, also called Greek fisherman’s hat, is a narrow, flat-toed cap with a thin, pointed brim, usually covered with navy or dark blue felt, but sometimes also from corduroy or canvas. It is styled after the traditional caps worn by fishermen in Greece. Greek hats are popular worldwide as a symbol of solidarity with the Greek people during the solidarity movements that have taken place in the past few years. The colors of Greek hats tend to be bright, such as the red and green of the Greek red and black or the blue and white of the red and white.
However, aside from its basic function of being a hat to protect one’s eyes, a Greek fisherman hat can also exude a certain fashion style. There are several styles available in the market today. Some of these have felt trim around the rim, while others have completely flat caps with fringe or no trim at all. Some have designs on the brim or the crown itself, while some come in plain caps.
Regardless of its design or style, the basic features of a Greek fisherman hat remain the same. These include the lace trim around the rim, which can be made of different materials like felt or lace, and the staple of the band, which is the fabric that hangs down from the crown. Aside from that, the other features that vary from style to style are the size of the hat, the colors that are to be printed onto the brim, the buckles, the crown, and the length of the hair or beard to be worn with it. With all these options, there is bound to be a style to match the individual’s preference.
