The first two are essentially bound brim fedoras with a 3" brim or so. Flanged brim. Relatively open crowned, though both are dented in some way or another. Similar to this hat. This was back before the distinction between cowboy hat and soft dress hat became so defined.

For the second style, which is quite distinct from the first two photos, try here.

The top two, I'm not sure what you'd call those. The bottom left, the Guy Williams 50's TV series Zorro hat, that looks like a standard gaucho hat. The bottom right, Anthony Hopkins in The Mask of Zorro, that's probably a gaucho hat as well, but with a lower crown. It actually kind of looks like a wide-brimmed pork pie, something that would look right at home with a zoot suit.

Aside from the chin strap, I could see myself liking a black Zorro hat. Chin straps equate to marching band to me, and while I was in such all of my high school career, it's not something I did for the dashing good looks. Quite the opposite, really.
