montera
This term refers specifically to a cultural artifact of Spanish heritage. It carries a strong connotation of tradition, formality, and the ritualized spectacle of the bullfight. Because it is a specialized piece of attire, it is rarely used outside of contexts involving Spanish folklore, history, or tauromachy.
As a loanword from Spanish, it maintains a specific identity tied to regional identity. It is not used as a generic term for any hat, but exclusively for this particular style of felt or wool headgear.
