from hats by being soft and having no brim - this usage is now rare (they would normally be
called caps today).
Hel mets
Helmets are designed to protect the head, and sometimes the neck, from injury. They
are usually rigid, and offer protection from blows. Helmets are commonly worn in battle, on
construction sites and in many contact sports.
Tur bans
Turbans are primarily worn for two reasons . Firs tly due to religious or cultural beliefs
and secondly for protection from the elements, especially sun. So you will for example find
that the Sikhs are required to wear a turban as a religious necessity while Arabs in the
Middle-East wear it for protection and cultural reasons.
Hoods
Hoods today are generally soft headcoverings which form part of a larger garment like
an overcoat, shirt or cloak. Historically, hoods were either similar to modern hoods, often
forming part of a cloak or cape, or a separate form of headgear. Soft hoods were worn by
men under hats. Women's hoods varied from close-fitting, soft headgear to stiffened,
structured hoods (e.g. gable hood) or very large coverings made of material over a frame
which fashionable women wore over towering wigs or hairstyles to protect them from the
elements (e.g. calash).
Masks
A mask is worn over part or all of the face, frequently to disguise the wearer, but
sometimes to protect them. Masks are often worn as disguises at fancy dress parties, a
masqued balls or at Hallowe'en, or they may be worn by criminals to prevent people
recognising them as they commit a crime. Masks which physically protect the wearer vary
from bars across the face in the case of ice hockey goalkeepers, to devices which purify or
control the wearer's air supply, as in gas masks.
Wigs
Wigs are synthetic hair which may be worn to disguise baldness or as part of a
costume. In most Commonwealth nations, special wigs are also worn by barristers, judges,
and certain parliamentary officials as a symbol of the office.
