Those Japanese-Calvardian policewoman hats are kind of cute

[Legendary Mr. Tiddles]

I've got to get me one. Anyone know what they're called?

Thanks, but nah. Those are the British policeman helmets. I'm talking about the policewoman hats. Completely different model.

British policewomen use the same style of hat

Well sure but I'm not talking about anything British.

Looks close enough though! Hard to believe this cloth hat and the hard metal helmet bear the same name (???).

It's exactly the same hat.

The only difference is that it uses a different pattern instead of the Brunswick star and a black pattern instead of stripes

It's the design that determines the classification, the difference in materials only accounts for different varieties of the same thing.

The standard equivalent for female officers is a "bowler" hat. This is shorter, chequered around the rim, and structurally reinforced to equal the custodian's protection. Uniquely, Staffordshire Police issues custodian helmets to all female constables for level 2 public order duties (and level 3 when requested).[12] Numerous other forces - including Essex Police and the British Transport Police - also allow their female officers to wear custodians if preferred.[13][14]

So that's the name of this thing, the bowler hat.

Thanks for all your wisdom, but I don't recognize the hat you're talking about. Let me find my reference and I'll get back to you (it's neither on my computer nor on the internet).

Ok, I'll await it.
