Therefore, not every glyph indicated on these "source" pages is available on my website at the moment.

Hats probably convey more information about the wearer than any other articles of clothing. Being near eye-level, they are a natural place to display occupational, organizational, class or national affiliations. Also, being near the face -- the body part that evolution has dictated as the display case of human individuality -- hats are a natural place to identify a person's social connections at a glance.
Since hats are out of fashion at the moment, a lot of their identification duties have shifted to badges, buttons, tags and T-shirt slogans displayed on the chest. This can be awkward when, for example, your trying to decipher a woman's name tag and then you realize that, yikes, you're staring at her chest, and she probably thinks your a total swine. (Which you probably are, but still, we're trying to hide that.)
