Please someone help me. I have been trying to find out the name of the type of hat the reformers are always seen wearing...

I desperately want one for a special someones 500th birthday party...and maybe also as a reformation day costume.
 
This may not be exactly what you're looking for, but I thought you might find this previous thread helpful.

Particularly, Brad suggested a website which may prove useful. Good luck with your search!

Oh, and as my wife pointed out this is your first post. So :welcome: to the PB!
 
Flat Hat?

I believe you are looking at what might be classified as a modified "Flat Hat"

Susan Reed: Headdress Classification
Flat Hat

a usually brimmed hat with a soft crown constructed as a circle pleated into a brim or knitted to shape. When the crown is made to lie flat on the brim, it looks like a pancake on a plate and has a roughly triangular silhouette. The brims project perpendicularly from the head opening, but a particular section of the brim may be folded up or down.

Variations

* Crown lies flat on the brim
* Crown is raised so that join between the brim and the crown can be seen
* Brims that go completely around the head opening
* Partial brims
* Split/slashed brims
* Overlapping split/slashed brims
