Got 3 more hats:

PILEUS + PILEUS = EPSILON.......code1
PILLBOX - PILEUS = COUPLES…..code2
KOVA*HAT = TEMBEL……...........code3

The definitions below will assist you in solving those alphametics:

code1: PILEUS : a 6rim4833 felt cap worn in Ancient Greece.
code2: PILLBOX hat: a 2ma77 woman's hat with a flat crown, straight upright sides, and no brim.
code3: KOVA means HAT in Hebrew. KOVA TEMBEL is a hat which is an Israeli national sym732.

According to Wikipedia, a pileus is a BRIMLESS felt cap worn in Ancient Greece.  This implies that E = 8, but E can't = 8 since EPSILON must be less than 2,000,000. 

Am I missing something?
