The cocked hat, also referred to as a Tricorne or Tricorner hat was very popular with military and civilian men during the 1700's. The hat is unlined and does not have any trim, as depicted. These are made out of 100% real wool felt and each one is handmade at Samson Historical.
I thank you very much for your delivery of my order of a Cocked Hat that arrived in Switzerland in very outstanding conditions. It’s really a very nice hat and I really enjoy it. It remembers me “The Patriot” movie with Mel Gibson and Heath Ledger who wear similar crocked hats ;-)
I purchased a hat to use when I am making presentations and re-enacting. I was much "harder" than I had imagined and steamed it a few time to soften it to fit to my square head. I am extremely happy with the product which needs work at the client's end to fit properly, which is expected. It is pretty indestructible otherwise. I purchased a unblocked hat for my wife which she is also happy with, but I need to work on that to mold it to her petite head. Good quality products and I recommend them. It was also the proper style that I wish.
