Bicorn
The bicorn - the two-horned hat
From the Latin bicornis, the bicorn simply refers to a two-horned hat.
Derived from the tricorn hat, it was originally designed to be an equestrian headwear.
Worn in the military field, the bicorn quickly established itself as the headwear of the 18th century. Made of wool felt, its appearance and the way it was worn evolved over the years and fashion trends.
Currently, the bicorn remains associated with the famous Napoleon hat during the Empire, but it is also found at the French Academy or during major events.
