A duckbill hat is a cloth hat with a peaked brim that is in the shape of a duckbill. This hat developed on the design of the popular British flat cap in the 19th century, and is similar to a duckbill ivy hat. The difference between the two is that duckbill ivy hats have flat brims, snap buttons or stitching at the top, and generally wide crowns. Duckbill hats, on the other hand, have brims turned down and in, and more fitted crowns that are sewn to the brims for a streamlined look.

Duckbill hats were once worn primarily by working-class men in the US, UK, and Ireland, and by upper-class men for country or sporting occasions. In modern times, these hats are favored as utilitarian or fashionable clothing by various sections of society, including women. They can be worn in the usual way or they can be worn from back to front. There is usually a belt or strap at the back that allows for different head size adjustments.

Compared to full-brimmed hats, duckbill hats are generally more convenient since they take up less space, especially in a crowded indoor setting. With their short edges, they are also less likely to snag on bushes, low branches, etc. when used outdoors. A duckbill hat works well as a sun protection hat, shielding the eyes and face from the direct glare of the sun; The bottom of the hat is often made of a dark material so as not to reflect glare. The small brim also offers a good buffer against high winds.

Duckbill hats are extremely versatile because they can be worn in all types of weather in different climate zones. The hat has an insulated neck flap that protects the ears and neck from the cold in cold areas. In hot weather, this neck flap can be turned up and out. The crown may have an inner fleece lining to keep the top of the head warm.

It is possible to get these hats in a variety of materials, patterns, and linings. Popular materials include tweed, leather, and wool for winter hats and cotton for summer hats. A duckbill hat is usually quite easy to maintain. Can be hand washed and hung with a hanger to drip dry. It can also be machine washed and tumble dried.
