bearskin

In fact, the tall bearskin hat is called a shako.

To the general public it is called a 'Busby'. I've been English for 54 years and never heard them called a 'shako', although the soldiers themselves might possibly use the term.

Additional:

although most refer to the bearskin hats as busby hats, busbys are actually a different type of hat which is shorter than the bearskin hat.
