section::::history.









































while there are not many official records of hats before 3,000 bc, they probably were commonplace before that. the 27-30,000 year old venus of willendorf figurine may depict a woman wearing a woven hat. one of the earliest known confirmed hats was worn by a bronze age man (nicknamed ötzi) whose body (including his hat) was found frozen in a mountain between austria and italy, where he'd been since around 3250 bc. he was found wearing a bearskin cap with a chin strap, made of several hides stitched together, essentially resembling a russian fur hat without the flaps.
