The coonskin cap was made famous by actor Fess Parker, who played Davy Crockett in the 1950s television series "Davy Crockett, King of the Wild Frontier." Parker's portrayal of Crockett wearing a coonskin cap popularized the headgear and sparked a craze for them among children and fans of the show.
"Kippah" is an extension of "kaf," which means a palm (of the hand), or (by analogy) any rounded, concave or convex item. "Kippah" in modern Hebrew is most often used to refer the cap which male Jews wear.
More information:
Jewish males cover their heads with a kippa and/or a hat, as a reminder of the presence of God. This practice is twice mentioned emphatically in the Talmud (Shabbat 156b; Kallah 1:16), in statements dating back 1700 and 1850 years, respectively. Even then, covering one's head is spoken of as an established practice, not something new.
The Yiddish word for kippah, "yarmulkah," is a contraction of the Aramaic "yerei malkah": to be aware of the King.

Although the sombrero is worn in a few countries, none are more famous for its use than Mexico. It is habitually worn by peasants, who use a sombrero made from straw. Richer folk often wear a similar version made from felt.
The bend always goes on the back. It’s not a pirate hat.
The hat they wear is called a fedora.
The charro or mariachi-style Mexican sombrero became famous during the 1910-1921 Mexican Revolution, when many people from rural communities were photographed wearing them; famous revolutionary generals Francisco 'Pancho' Villa and Emiliano Zapata were fond on wearing such kind of hats. Almost a century later, the sombrero is as fashionable to Mexicans as the top hat - worn by president Abraham Lincoln - or boater hat- worn by traditional barbershop quartets - are to Americans.
Present-day Mexicans use other types of protection from the sun, such as caps and cowboy hats. Only mariachis and charros use sombreros, mostly for presentation or festivity purposes. On the other hand, sombreros are one of the many handcrafts Mexican vendors offer to American, Canadian and European tourists and are sold at good prices - at least for a couple of American dollars.
Its origins came from the title of a play, called Fedora(1882). In it, the main actress wore a hat with a look that served as a precursor to the fedora today. It was initially popular among women at the turn of the century, but soon became even more popular for men.
