Tag for a removed hat?

Is there (and if not, could there be) a tag for a hat that apparently should have or recently was on a head that has now come away from that position? Whether it fell off, was grabbed off, or dismounted by its wearer, a tag for a hat removed?

I want to say something related to "doff". Possibly even just doff itself, though that can apply to any clothing (also connotes these things having been done on purpose).

The question is clearly related to one point in my recent writing, forum #34841, which went almost unnoticed.

I shrug. hat_removed sounds as good as anything else.

hatless?

While I think using hatless would probably be just as good, I'm gonna have to go with hat_removed for the sake of agreeing on a name.

We can always just change the tag name if we find a better one later anyway.

Hatless sounds like there's no hat anywhere. Like a tag you'd use for characters who always have a hat and are very rarely depicted without one.

In a quick search, I found two terms for removing your hat:

Doff, as DschingisKhan mentioned. That's only for removing your hat as a sign of respect, however (and as he mentioned can also be for removing any article of clothing).

脱帽, or datsubou. Appears to be a Japanese term for removing one's hat. I doubt many people would use the tag if we used that term ourselves, however. Not without aliases, at least.

Woah, really? I wasn't aware of that denotation existing anywhere. It's certainly not part of the etymology, and WordNet has no indication of this. I'm too cheap to ever consider paying OED for access; do they have it there?

I don't know about doff in general, but doffing your hat (usually lifting the front lip up a bit, or lifting the entire hat a couple of inches above your head by the side of the brim in case of hard hats) is a gesture of saying hello, acknownledge someone, or excuse yourself in a situation requiring it.

If you're going to use it for a tag, it should be for this specific action, not for images that simply have an unworn hat in it/hat in hand.
