Sailor hat (or sailor cap) refers to several styles of hats worn as part of a naval uniform. The most common example was coined the "Dixie cup" and can be identified by its raised rim that encircles the crown. Another style of sailor hat is visorless, usually with a flat-capped brim. Styles depicted in sailor uniforms may depict other related headwear such as the mariner's cap, or captain's hat instead.

Not to be confused with

• boater_hat - Sailor's hats were originally styled after the boater, but currently the designs are quite distinct.

Related headwear

• captain's_hat - A style of peaked cap worn by members in Captain roles. These usually appear more ornate than typical sailor hats. Some may look more like mariner hats than peaked caps.
