Hat with Pompom Alsace Gray-Red with Led and Stork

History and Tradition of the Pompom Hat

The first pompom hats in history were those worn by French naval officers. Back in the day, caps were sewn in one piece, and there was usually a thread of wool that protruded from the top of the headdress. Thus, in order to finalize the headgear in an even more aesthetic way, a pompom was deliberately added.

Practical and Symbolic Purpose of the Pompom

More than a simple decorative element, this ornament quickly found another use. Effectively, the pompom served as additional protection that allowed sailors to avoid hitting their heads in the narrow aisles of ships, where the ceiling was usually low. The pompoms were also red in colour, a way to more easily spot a man overboard.
