Tricorn

The tricorn: the famous triangular hat!

So called because of its shape, the tricorn is a felt hat with three horns, obtained by raising on two sides the wide edges of the hat

The first tricorns are thought to date back to around the time of the Glorious English Revolution, when cavalry units decided to raise the edges of their hats to gain visibility

Quickly popularized, the tricorn became a fashion accessory until it declined in 1770. At that time, it was indeed abandoned for the no less famous bicorn more suitable for wearing imposing wigs

We offer various models of tricorn, all of excellent quality. We can also make them to measure if you don't find the one you need among the models on offer.

The tricorn hat: the pirate's hat

Tricorn hats became one of the most fashionable forms of hat during the 18th century, because of its triangular shape folded over the three-horn cap from which it took its name in the 19th century. This hat shape was quickly adopted for military purposes with the famous military tricorn used by cavalry units during the English revolution, because the hats they used before had the unfortunate tendency to sag, making their rides more perilous. During this period the tricorn used was a felt tricorn

This form of hat was also democratized during piracy with the famous pirate tricorn hat, which was a leather tricorn pirate hat. This hat made of leather could thus withstand the different weather conditions of the sea and also offered a very good protection. This form of pirate tricorn hat was also made famous more recently with the film Pirates of the Caribbean and the famous Captain Jack Sparrow with his brown leather pirate tricorn. Whether it is a man's tricorn hat or a woman's tricorn hat, or whether it is a black felt tricorn, or a brown leather tricorn, this hat will become an indispensable accessory for a successful disguise
