This page is being used to collect information about the history of the paperfold I call The Flat-Topped Hat. Please contact me if you know any of this information is incorrect or if you have any other information that should be added. Thank you.

The Flat-Topped Hat is created by folding the top point of the Newspaper Hat downwards into the brim.
