So, hat's your question, then?

What's the best encyclopedic resource for hats/hoods/helmets/headwear?

Could be a book, could be a website, whatever; a (nigh-)complete rundown with either pictures or illustrations + history of every sort of hat from the dawn o' time until now. Wikipedia has some stuff, but also a lot of redlinks. My googling has failed me here.

Racinet's Le Costume Historique, while not confined to headgear, may yet be a worthwhile source - at least for everything up to 1888. Dover Publications offer some titles with a narrower focus.
