Plural of chapeau using the French plural form; hats or head coverings.
From French chapeau, with the French plural -x ending preserved. This represents the Francophile tradition in English where some speakers maintain French plural forms for prestige.
Using chapeaux instead of chapeaus is basically linguistic peacocking—it says 'I'm educated enough to remember French grammar,' even though English has its own rules now.
