Civilian Tricorn Hat

Civilian Tricorn Hat – Hand Blocked, 18th Century Style

Step into the 18th century with our hand-crafted civilian tricorn hat, made in the spirit of everyday life in Revolutionary America. Whether worn by tradesmen, farmers, merchants, or gentlemen of modest means, the tricorn was a practical and defining piece of civilian dress throughout the period.

Each hat is carefully hand-blocked and shaped to reflect period-correct proportions, offering a clean, functional silhouette rather than the exaggerated military styles often seen today. This is a working person’s hat—built for daily wear, not parade ground flash.

Features:

Hand-blocked crown and brim for an authentic shape

Properly scaled civilian proportions (not oversized or theatrical)

Durable wool felt construction suitable for regular use

Hand-formed cocking for a natural, period looking piece!

Designed with both accuracy and durability in mind, this hat is equally at home in a living history setting, on campaign, or as part of a well-researched civilian impression.

Unlike mass-produced versions, each piece carries the subtle irregularities and character that only come from hand work—because in the 18th century, perfection wasn’t stamped out by a machine, and neither are these.

Ideal for:

American Revolution reenactments

Living history interpreters

Historical tradesmen impressions

Everyday colonial wear

These are made to order so please allow 2-4 weeks
