Here's a gallery of pictures from the the Danish Museum in Copenhagen: https://picasaweb.google.com/103688495868327126656/TextilesInTheDanishMuseumInCopenhagen?authkey=Gv1sRgCNa3296h2Yqm3QE#

There are a number of different hats and gloves, although the hats seem to be of either the PtG variety or of a more standard stocking cap type. It may well be that the "Monmouth" type cap was a purely English thing. Of note: in one of the pictures there is an albeit thread-bare though recognisable thrum cap! And I thought they were extinct.

Thanks for those - that is great!

Since for some reason I cannot edit my latest post I need to put these pictures here.

Following pictures are dutch sailor from 1695-1730 so clearly from Gaop. Note large number of PTGs

None of those appear to be knit from my view...

Interesting since I think they all are. See e.g picture 1 there is that tab that there is in Monmouths.

and even that PTG hat of Peter The Great don't look knitted but it is.

what are others verdict?

I have a PTG hat. It does not hold the shape of the last two examples. The first one is too small for me to have a strong opinion one way or the other, the second image - the Caspar Luiken one, could quite possibly be knit but once again, the brim is holding a shape that mine doesn't. All of this is my supposition though... I am wondering if they were treated with something to stiffen and waterproof them....

Oh, we're going to talk ALL about that hat in the Columbus Surgeon's Journal. ;)

Here we can see PTGs, thrums, simple monmouth style caps, all having a peaceful co-existence with eacothers and with other hats as well.Circa 1690 image

Dutch painting Here left: a man with brimles monmouth on your right and one Ivan Henry looking man with ptg (brown clothes)(I think)... There is also brim hats as well as other caps
