Hat for a fencing helm

[alysten]

I want to make one of these to go with my fencing kit.  Now I know that the hat is usually very much lower/questionable German class of folks.  My kit is allegorical lower class as is.  All of the painting that show this style of dress have this style of hat. 

Anyone out there know what kind of hat this actually is?  What type of feathers were used? This will be an AFTER coronation project.  As Im not fencing yet (heck I am just starting to think about footwork again), I am in no hurry to get started.

Thanks!

They are Ostrich feathers (http://www.sdflowers.com/images/white_ostrich_feathers.jpg) and what little can be seen of the hat makes me believe it is wool tellerbarret.
