I found three hats in a cupboard while clearing out and know nothing about them ! Can anyone tell me what they might be called and maybe country they might come from and for what purpose ? Thank you. Oh yes the all seem as if boy size.

Thank you very much for any help you can give me.

Not sure about the designs, but from the shape, they look a bit like Masonic ceremonial hats.

The braiding on the top two look masonic

The bottom one looks as though it could be French as it seems to resemble a beret.
