Hat: Shako

A tall, cylindrical military hat.

A style of hat typically worn by overblown blow-hards.

...the "Regency" officers' shako of the British Army of 1822 was eight and a half inches in height, eleven inches across at the crown, with ornamental gold cords and lace. The headdress was topped by a twelve-inch plume and held in place by bronze chin scales.
