The Tyrolean hat is a headgear that originally comes from Tyrolean . A typical Tyrolean hat was initially considered to be a mostly pointed hat made of green felt with a brim about a hand's width , as was traditionally widespread, especially in the Zillertal . There are different forms of the Tyrolean hat, often the hats have a colored hat string and flowers or feathers as decorative elements. The Tyrolean hat also became known through Eduard VIII. After his abdication, he often stayed in Styria and often wore a Tyrolean type of headgear, although it did not come from there.

A certain standardization of the appearance in the Tyrolean costumes took place in the 19th and 20th centuries. Original hat shapes, even if they have been adapted to contemporary fashion since the 1830s / 40s, have been preserved in the local costumes of Tyrol - from the high, flat-topped, relatively narrow-brimmed hats of North Tyrol to the flat plates of the South Tyrolean wine country.

Later the hat became the image carrier of “Tyrolean culture” as a tourism brand - also influenced by folk music groups with fantasy views. The musician Billy Mo interpreted the song I prefer to buy a Tyrolean hat in 1962, which addresses its connection to folk music (" brass music "); The comedy film of the same name was released in 1965.
