People have told me these are a type of French hood, but the effigy photos I've looked at all cover the ears, which these don't seem to do. So, how are these constructed? Are they a roll, a brim set far back on the head. A couple have veils off the back, like a French hood, but seem to be rounded more than a pillbox hat would suggest.
