what were these hats called?
and how long were they in use for/why? xD

It's a standard beret I think, albeit a bit new which is why they are standing up a bit.

It doesn't get knocked off getting in and out like most other headwear does; and it's a bit of padding for when your head comes into contact with something metal - because it will at some point

And it's black, like the rest of the uniform, because you are going to get covered in oil at some point.

Thank you,

Do you know the name of it? I was previously only familiar with the peaked, visor and side caps.
