Hello,
what would you think is represented in the following drawing (it is from slinging.org, shall depict a slinger, 5th c. BC, source unknown): a hat, made of felt, or perhaps some kind of leather cap?

It has not exactly the same shape of the "bowler hats" I have seen before in pictures of psiloi but that may be just an artificial difference.

Edit: sorry, I did not manage to include the picture in this post (how is it done?? I tried "Img" but failed) so I edited the link to slinging.org.
I am speaking of the first picture, the slinger who dropped his chiton down to his waist.
