How Buckled Hats Became Halloween Icons

Tall hats with leather bands and metal buckles were actual fashion garments worn in Europe during the seventeenth century. Over time, storytellers and costume designers adopted this classic style for witch characters, making the prominent belt buckle a signature detail of folklore headwear.
