What kind of hat is this?

[JMapleton]

On the leader singer of this music video?

It's the kind the police used to wear back in like the 1960s I think, is there a specific name for it?

Looks kind of like an airline pilot's hat?

Or a bus driver hat. That's what we called them in the Air Force.

Looks like a standard 8-point police uniform cap. Might also be called a Pershing Cap, but those are generally round rather than pointed and should have more angle to the crown.

next step: google and order?

Pershing Cap. Thank You. This is important information that has been confirmed and documented. This seemed to be popular in early 80s new wave music and I wanted to know if it had a name.

A stupid one, however, making love to you was never second best...

Judging from the hat, the link must be to a Village People video.
