Coppola (cap)

Okay kiddo, so a coppola cap is a kind of hat that is made out of a stiff, round material like wool, felt, or straw. It was named after a famous movie director named Francis Ford Coppola, who liked to wear this style of hat.

The cap has a round, flat top and a curved brim that goes all the way around the bottom. It's kind of like a mix between a baseball cap and a fedora. It's often worn by men, but sometimes women like to wear them too.

So if you see someone wearing a round, flat hat with a curved brim, you can say, "Wow, that person is wearing a coppola cap, just like Francis Ford Coppola!"
