Hat fashionable among men in the second half of the 15th century.
It can be more or less tall, rising quite high in some sources, perhaps for wealthier statuses, or a specific fashion of the moment.
A shorter version seems to have been used by the middle class.
The one in the photo is somewhere in between.
