A bell-boy hat or bellboy cap is a small round or oval brimless cap with a crown about 2–3 inches in height, resembling a squat can or drum. It is often worn as part of the uniform of a

cap. A bell-boy hat usually features a chinstrap, and is trimmed to match the rest of a bellhop's uniform.

As a fashion item, the style was popular in the late 1930s and 1940s for women, when it could be dressed up with veils, military trimmings or a

Spirou
, as the character is depicted as being a bellboy.
