The cap is a head cover worn for a variety of reasons, including protection against weather conditions, ceremonial reasons such as university graduation, religious reasons, security, or as a fashion accessory. In the past, hats were an indicator of social status. In the military, hats can denote nationality, service branch, rank or regiment. Police usually wear distinctive hats such as peaked hats or brimmed hats, such as those worn by Canada's Royal Mounted Police. Some hats have protective functions. For example, a hard hat protects the head of a construction worker from injury by falling objects and a British police custodian helmet protects the officer's head, the sun hat overshadows the face and shoulders of the sun, the cowboy hat protects against the sun and rain and Ushanka feather caps with folding ears keep your head and ears warm. Some hats are worn for ceremonial purposes, such as mortar boards, which are worn (or carried) during a university graduation ceremony. Some hats are worn by certain members of the profession, such as the Toque worn by the chef. Some hats have religious functions, such as the myth worn by Bishops and turbans worn by Sikhs.

History
Although there are not many official records of hats before 3,000 BC, they may have been commonplace before then. Archaeologists think that Venus of Brassempouy from 26,000 years ago may have described a hat. One of the earliest confirmed hats was worn by a bronze-age man (nicknamed ÃÆ'-tzi) whose body (including his hat) was found frozen on a mountain between Austria and Italy, where he had been around 3,300 BC. He was found wearing a bear leather hat with a chin strap, made of some leather sewn together, essentially resembling a Russian feather cap without a cover.
One of the first depictions of hats appears in a grave painting from Thebes, Egypt, showing a man wearing a cone-shaped straw hat dated around 3200 BC. Hats are usually worn in ancient Egypt. Many upper-class Egyptians shaved their heads, then covered them with headdresses intended to help them stay calm. Ancient Mesopotamians often wore conical hats or shaped somewhat like reversed vases.
Other early hats include Pileus, a simple skull-like cap; Phrygian hat, worn by freed slaves in Greece and Rome (who became an icon in America during the Revolutionary War and the French Revolution, as a symbol of the struggle for freedom against the Monarchy); and the Greek petasos, the first known full hat. Women wearing hoods, handkerchiefs, hoods, hats and wimples.
Like Otzi, the Tollund Man preserved to this day with a hat, may have died around 400 BC in the Danish swamp, which made it mummy. She wore a pointed hat made of sheepskin and wool, which was attached under her chin by a leather strap.
St. Clement, the patron saint of the hatmaker, is said to have felt as he filled his sandals with hemp fibers to protect his legs, about 800 AD.
In the Middle Ages, hats were markers of social status and were used to select particular groups. The Lateran Council of 1215 Honor requires that all Jews identify themselves by using Judenhat ("Jewish cap"), marking them as targets of anti-Semitism. The hats are usually yellow and pointed or square.
In the Middle Ages, hats for women ranged from simple scarves to intricate hennin, and denoted social status. Hats arranged for women who resembled the castle's men began to be worn at the end of the sixteenth century. The term 'milliner' comes from the Italian city of Milan, where the best quality caps were made in the 18th century. Women's hats traditionally are women's jobs, with milliner not only creating hats and caps but also choosing lace, ornaments and accessories to complement the outfit.
In the first half of the nineteenth century, women wore caps that gradually became larger, adorned with ribbons, flowers, feathers, and screen edges. By the end of this century, many other styles were introduced, among them a wide-brimmed hat and flat crown, flowerpot and toque. By the mid-1920s, when the women began to cut their hair short, they chose a hat that hugged the head like a helmet.
The tradition of wearing hats for horse racing events begins at Royal Ascot in England, which maintains a strict dress code. All guests at the Royal Enclosure must wear hats. This tradition was adopted at other horse racing events, such as the Kentucky Derby in the United States.
Hats were amazingly popular in the 1980s, and in the early 21st century, flamboyant hats made a comeback, with a new wave of competing young milliners devising creations that included a turban cap, trompe-l'oeil-effect felt hat and high headpieces that made of human hair. Some collections of new hats have been described as "wearable statues." Many pop stars, among them Lady Gaga, have commissioned hats as publicity stunts.

Size
The size of the cap is determined by measuring the head circumference of a person about 1 centimeter ( 1 / 2 in) above the ear. Inches or centimeters may be used depending on the manufacturer. Hats feel can stretch to custom fit. Some hats, such as hard hats and baseball caps, can be adjusted. Cheap hats are present in "standard sizes", such as small, medium, large, extra large: measurable size mappings to various "standard sizes" vary from maker to maker and style to style, as can be seen by studying catalogs, such as Hammacher Schlemmer.
Traditional hat sizes are done by adding front and rear measurements and side-to-side (in inches) and dividing them in half.
