The tricorn hat, or "cocked hat," emerged from Spanish soldiers in the 17th century, evolving from broad brimmed hats pinned up for practicality (rain, shouldering muskets) and became a major fashion for men, military, and aristocrats across Europe and colonies throughout the 18th century, symbolizing the era before being replaced by the top hat, but remains in ceremonial use today. This burgundy tricorne hat features a traditional three-corner style, perfect for historical, pirate, and colonial-themed costumes. The deep burgundy shade adds a bold and elegant touch to period costumes and character outfits. It fits best on men, women and larger teens. Other pirate, colonial costumes and accessories (wigs, masks, theatrical makeup, weapon props, gloves, jewelry, leg wear...) are sold separately on our page – subject to availability.
