But as a generic thing it's a pedants' hat, i.e. a hat worn by pedants
If you're implying that it's a hat of the type normally worn by a pedant, then the correct usage is a pedant's hat.

OMG!!!
Only just checked back from a day or so and all these useful (and useless) replies.
I think some of you guys must have read too much Dr Seuss as kids!
Cheers anyway for enlightening me! Amida Buddha!
