Women's Baroque Tricorn Hat With Feathers

Women's Baroque Felt Tricorn Hat With Feathers

The Tricorn Hat as a Fashion Symbol of the 18th Century

The tricorn hat, also known as a three-cornered hat, became the absolute symbol of European fashion in the 18th century. Although this shape was originally designed for military purposes so that the turned-up brim would not interfere when carrying a musket on the shoulder, it quickly found its way into the civilian wardrobes of the aristocracy and wealthy bourgeoisie. Ladies loved to wear it for horseback riding, hunting, or as a highly fashionable accessory while travelling. This hat faithfully reflects the fashion of the High Baroque and Rococo periods when headwear was richly decorated with feathers, trim, and sparkling stones.

The hat is precisely formed from cotton felt. The central feature is an eye-catching rhinestone brooch, complemented along the brim by hand-applied light bows with small embellishments. The overall aristocratic impression is enhanced by a rich plume of real feathers that waves elegantly with every step. Whether you are portraying a fearless corsair, a noble aristocrat, or a mysterious marquise, this accessory will perfectly accentuate your costume.

Felt Hat Care and Safety

To ensure this beautiful tricorn serves you for a long time and retains its elegant shape, it requires gentle care. Never wash the hat in a washing machine, do not soak it in water, and do not dry it in a tumble dryer. Remove any surface dirt and dust exclusively by dry, gentle brushing with a soft clothes brush. Protect the ostrich feathers from mechanical breaking. Please note that both cotton felt and natural feathers are highly flammable materials, so exercise extreme caution with the hat near open flames, fireplaces, or period lighting such as candles and torches.

Recommended Accessories

To achieve an absolutely perfect look of an 18th-century lady, we highly recommend combining the hat with a rich Baroque dress, a laced corset, and a period folding fan. Please be advised that the small necklace and earrings worn by the model in the photographs are not included with the hat.
