The version of Greek Fisherman’s is else known as Fiddler cap and has reached a renewed popularity when Fiddler on the Roof became a smash Broadway hit while also when was worn by John Lennon during the British Invasion in mid-1960s. Moreover, Marlon Brando wearing such a hat made it a great fashion inspiration and addition to looks leaving the its trademark as the Marlon Brando’s Hat.
Other variations of Greek Fisherman’s hats are Mariner’s Cap, Skipper Cap, Breton Cap, Lenin Cap or Mao Cap and are characterised by soft, flat-topped cap with a small visor predominantly made from black or dark color wool, corduroy or denim. What distinguished Greek Fisherman’s hat is the soft, unstructured crown. Such hat styles are associated with different seamanship activities (fishing, yachting etc).
