In the early 20th century, men's hats in comparison to women's hats were definitely much more restrained in appearance, but show a great deal of variety if compared to today's fashions. Most of the men in these photographs are wearing flat caps, a wool or tweed cap with a small bill. Felt fedoras with their medium brims and creased crowns seemed to be gaining in popularity. Bowlers, a style originating from Britain, with their hard felt and rounded crown, were popular in Canada for a time. One photo shows a man were a tam o'shanter, a traditional Scottish cap. Two men appear to be wearing ushankas, Russian fur caps with ear flaps, to ward off the winter cold.
