Tricorn Pirate with Tricorn and arabesque

There are props that set a character, an atmosphere, in an instant. The hat is one of them. You could be wearing a plain shirt and trousers, but put a hat on your head and you're instantly identifiable!

The tricorn has a long history, dating back to the English Revolution, when cavalry units decided to raise the brims of their hats to improve visibility on the battlefield. Quickly popularised, the tricorne became not only a military hat but also a town hat, until it went into decline in 1770. Although it is still closely associated with piracy and the maritime world, it was the most fashionable headgear in the late 17th and early 18th centuries.

The model we're offering here is made from vegetable-tanned leather with a patina and assembled by hand. Unlike felt, it will keep its shape even in the heaviest downpours. We make our tricorns in the traditional way, in just two parts: the flaps and the shell. The shell is a seamless, moulded leather half-sphere. It adapts smoothly to your head, distributing the weight of the tricorn more evenly and offering greater comfort.

This model is engraved with a Pirate with Tricorn and an arabesque border. The Pirate with Tricorn pattern captures the daring spirit of Caribbean privateers, with their iconic hats adorned with feathers and decorations. Imagine a pirate captain, proud and feared, sailing the seas with his distinctive tricorn. This design is perfect for those looking to embody the charm and bravery of legendary pirates, transforming each piece of leather into a tribute to daring adventures and hidden treasure.

Like all our products, your Tricorn will be made to order, especially for you. The shades of colour may therefore be slightly different from those shown in the photos, which are only examples that have already been made (and sold). Would you like a custom Tricorn ? No problem at all! Contact us so that we can draw up a quote for you after studying the feasibility of the project.

Maintenance

Depending on your use and the conditions (hot sun, rain), you can increase the life of your bottle by maintaining it once a year (for intensive use) with a colourless wax specifically designed for the maintenance of vegetable-tanned leather, which can be found in the equestrian department or in our shop. If your leather gets wet (rain, a fall in a puddle, a mud fight) or muddy, start by letting it dry naturally. Then remove any traces of dirt with a slightly damp cotton cloth. Finally, give it a little nourishment.
