Figure 1.--Here we see a newly minted Kindergarner with his uniform which included a felt rounded crown hat. |

We see Japanese school children wearing both hard rounded-crown hat hats as well as softer construction. They may have been worn seasonally at some schools. We also see them made in a variety of different material. It is often to difficult to determine the material from a photograph. We see canvas-like material, felt, straw, and suiting. Felt seems to be the standard for the mre formal hats. And we note catalogs referring to the hats as 'felt hats' (フェルト帽子) rather than a stylistic description. The flt was done in wool. We see the felt done in both navy blue and cream and there may be some other colors as well. The blue felt hats seem standard for winter wear. We note the straw versions described as 'navy straw hats' (麦わら帽子紺). Fabric hats are referred to as 'pikke white' (白ピッケ). We think there were also plastic material used, like the material used for baseball caps. We are not, however, yet positive about that.
