DIY Cocked Hat (Tricorn Hat)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 сен 2024
- To help round out my 18th century "colonial bushcraft" kit, I made my own cocked hat (also called a tricorn hat) from a wide-brimmed ladies hat that is suddenly fashionable this season.
My simple version of a cocked hat uses three ingredients:
1. A cheap, wide-brimmed hat
2. A hole punch - you can use an awl, a nail or ice pick
3. Some leather lacing - you can use shoe laces or ribbon instead.
Thanks for visiting.

This looks like it would be fairly easy to make and of a better quality than most of the more expensive costume hats I've seen of its type.
Awesome. Now only if tricorn hats weren't considered weird.
Oh to be allowed to wear a tricorn and a cape in public without shame
M B You feel shame?
@@MB-st7be Bro if anyone says anything just say that they are disrespecting their ancestors and they wouldnt be here without them sooo..
If want to wear it, what's stopping you? Who cares what someone else thinks? I wear mine.
I used your trick for a colonial field trip and it worked
You might consider leaving the lacing a little longer and not having the brim touch the crown. This gives it a fuller, larger look. Mine always looked like a kids hat until an old timer gave me this tip. Looks great! Also, I use a leather punch tool that has a wheel on the end that has various sized holes. It’s great for punching the holes.
Bring back the tricorn hat. It should become the new symbol of patriots 🇺🇸
Looks great!
I thought it was awesome. Happy Independence Day 🇺🇲
I love Tricorn hats. You made a lovely one. I don't fancy Ball caps or Cowboys hats or Tilley hats. I wish they'd come back in style.

I've been a fan of the criss cross leather binding. Seems like the cross pattern would hold a pipe. Thanks Mick because DIY hat making has seen a serge in Felt hat blanks. We too have discovered Woman's hats work well.
Thank you so much
i had to do a colonial era costume for my son and your video helped a ton I had the hat and string at home. :) This was an easy 10 minute free project. Again huge thanks
You just need a floppy hat and turn it into a tricorne. That's it!
The vertical stitchwork is period correct, particularly for the military and militia, as a crossed stitch would not allow for a cockade.
Thank you for this! you just saved my child school great americans night! i have not been able to find a hat fot his geroge washington! i just got all the items and i cant wait to make this!
I followed your video to make my own, and it came out great. I used modern materials but it still looks good! Mine is tan with black lacing.
Nice this was amazing help for my homemade tricorn collection I’m now trying to proceed to make more of a military cocked hat and again thank you..
I found a 3 dollar grey womens felt hat, worked perfectly for a good tricorn
This is really going to help with my treasure Island play! thanks a lot!
Glad I could help. It's really easy.
I like this style myself but once I saw your finished product, I can see why the ladies liked it and some still like a man who is handy. Lol
Your video helped very much, I have also made 4 of the Tri-corn Hat myself.
Thanks for the nice words.
Thanks for the nice words.
Your welcome!
Better than my first attempt. Great video! I would like to make them of a canvas or rip-stop twill material ideally.
Yours turned out very nice and authentic-looking. Someday, I'll try the same.
Awesome video, keep up the great work!
You did a great job, I like it very much I'm going to try this for my husband who sometimes do colonial renacting as a blacksmith... Thanks
Cool little tutorial thanks for sharing I buy used cowboy hats and reshape them usually but floppy hats work well too
This is great! Best DIY I've seen.
You can try using steam to help shape and stretch the felt to size it better.
Thanks. I have seen professionals use a steam wand to do exactly that. I have not added any kind of stiffener yet, but I might.
And here is my hat for my summer vacation
went to some millinery how to sites and one lady sewed wire around the edge before covering with ribbon edging. that would keep it's shape if it gets wet. be sure you use non rusting wire. good luck
Excellent!
stiffy fabric stiffener works well to hold shape
Now I'm ready to see Pirats of Caribbean 5
Nice! Thanks
I don’t even have the hat to make it
Could you make another one of these and I would pay you for it?
Adorei bem explicado!!
Can you make a virgina cocked hat? Im trying to make a contingent soldier uniform but the hate are like $150
Spray the hat with shilac, it will be water resistant and hold it's shape.
just order 8 black and 4 grey and 4 brown for $2 a peice new on ebay there our junior militia in ste genevieve mo.
Props for calling it a "cocked hat," however, you are incorrect on the origins of the term. "Cocked" has nothing to do with the shape of the hat. The term comes from the fact that the hat was traditionally worn with a cockade, which was used for everything from decorative, to political support, to military rank/insignia. The term "tricorn" or "tricorne" did not come about until the mid 19th century, some half a century after they fell out of fashion and replaced with the top hat.
Soooooooooooo...... you bought a hat and turned up the brim?
In this case cheaper than a round felt hat blank, from a fabric supply
Now, the church squire and the Catholic monk would have disagreed with the editorial content of this scene. Glass was the last one of us to show up. We killed about 45 of them in 3 waves of 15 in close courter combat before they threw 45-60 at us at once on horseback . We killed most of them but the last 15 by halling ass to that cliff and stopping sending the natives who were chasing us over before we finally made the jump. there was about 9- 15 of us. Then we held on to the trees like paratroopers for 3-7 days covered in snow until different natives at the bottom cleared the scene. The we got down spent about an hour and a half getting about half the frozen horse meat and regrouped 2 miles south for another week barried in the snow. Then fell back another 30 miles to the South for a week in cozi Low key snow igloos to join up with 30 more men to wait out the winter for the next 3 months. To again push forward. And Stonewall was amid the 30 man reinforcement with us. And yes, the same us. When winter fell another 60 men finally showed up and this guy talking got 3 months of some Noble R&R.
