I’ve had that screenshot of that cone in my phone for months because it was so perfect for Remus and I finally got around to drawing it

This is kinda a stupid question, but what type of hat that Victor is wearing?
It's not a stupid question at all.
The simple answer is that it's a cap.
They were quite common at the time as workaday wear for a laborer, as sportswear, as flashy collegiate fashion, and as something basic you'd stick on a young boy's head. Sometimes they'd come in leather or suede, but more typically they'd be made of woven fabric like wool, tweed, or serge. Many designs have a button on top where the wedge shaped fabric segments comprising the crown converge. 'Flat caps' are sewn with a different, boxier panel pattern eliminating the button.
Caps got sort of egregiously puffy/floppy in the 1920s (along with a lot of other egregious things about the 20s). Below is Babe Ruth wearing what would have been considered fashionable at the time. Viktor's is pretty conservative by comparison.
The less simple thing to answer is specifically what type of cap. There are a lot of variations, classification is a little hazy and loose as far as I can discern, and the parlance for them has changed over the past 100 years. For instance, you'll see a lot of people calling them 'Gatsby hats' or 'newsboy hats' now, but they were definitely not referred to as the former within the 1920s, and the latter is doubtful. I haven't seen any old catalog entries list them that way. Mostly they were called golf caps, cabbie caps, driving caps, or sports caps.
