One thing I've found over the years is that terms can change markedly from place to place, so it could be that what was a "plug hat" to your ancestors evoked a different image in the minds/eyes of people who lived elsewhere. And maybe it depends on the shape of the "plug" they had in mind when comparing the hat ... either way, fascinating fashion post, Anita. Thanks!
