Our hats are made of high quality fur felt, feature an
approximately 5 1/2 inch wide brim and a 4 inch crown. All hat styles are
available in black, dark brown, medium brown (pecan), tan, and grey.
Other colors also available on request. All
hats have wired and bound brims, are hand trimmed and finished off with metallic
braid, ostrich plumes, and a hat band with certain hat styles. They are stunning
examples of the milliner's art and are some of the finest 17th Century and
early 18th Century reproduction hats available to the general public.
Custom designs in 17th and early 18th Century hats will be gladly considered. We will also
re-block, re-trim, repair and/or re-plume your hat, whether you have purchased
it from us or another supplier.
Your choice of either white or black ostrich plumes as the stock color with
certain hat styles. Your choice of gold or silver metallic trim.
It was common practice during the late 17th Century and into the 18th Century
to hold the 'cock' of a hat in place with hooks and eyes, cords, or buttons
and loops, so that the brim could be worn up or down, according to the whims
of the wearer, or the weather. To maintain a look of authenticity, our pirate
hats feature cording run through holes in the crown and brim of the hat to
hold the brim in place.
To measure for your correct hat size, please see the
Hat Chart
below.
