Where did the Smurfs get their hats

Smurfs are most probably bald, as discussed in this thread on a good old fashioned forum:

And my unopular opinion is that Smurfette is most probably wearing a wig.

Fun random fact, the tool used to animate the smurfs hats in 3 out of 4 CG smurfs films, was actually created for Doctor Manhattan’s junk for the original Watchmen film.

Or maybe the artist was inspired by the connection of the Phrygian cap with psychedelic "liberty cap" mushrooms (Psilocybe semilanceata), which are distributed widely across Europe and associated with elves, fairies and various other wee folk?

I don't know but their houses are definitely amanita muscaria.

I'm proud that I managed to guess it, it's a Phrygian cap.

does the bashed forage cap of the civil war era also pay dues to this?

Idk about all that, but the Smurfs are probably commies right?

The conspiracy theories I have heard:

- Gargamel is a priest, the smurfs are prosecuted by the church

- Papa smurf wears red and has a beard because of ideological reasons, the smurfs political and economic system resembles communism

- Smurfs represent the seven deadly sins/seven capital vices

    Lust: Enamored smurf
    Gluttony: Baker smurf
    Avarice: Greedy smurf
    Sloth: Lazy smurf
    Wrath: Grouchy smurf
    Envy: Brainy smurf
    Pride: Vanity smurf
