A brief history of the Tyrolean hat

The typical Tyrolean hat can have different variations: with wide brims, with three pits, top hats, high and low hats, with prints, embroidery and fabric ribbons and can be made of wool or hare felt (more valuable)

In the 19th and early 20th century there was a regional unification and a stylization of the Tyrolean hat „Tracht“ (costume) which from simple everyday work costumes, became regional costumes.

With nationalism there was a return and appreciation of customs and traditions. The commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the Tyrolean freedom struggle in 1909 led to a unification of clothing, both for the „Schuetzen“ clubs and for the marching bands.

Today on this typical headdress there is the feather that recalls the feathers present on traditional clothes of the last century, instead of the chamois mustache, which is customary in nearby Bavaria.
