Simple Leather Pirate Tricorn Hat

DETAILS

The tricorn is iconic for a reason. For a start, three 'folded' sides tied into that famous shape give a strong 'outline', that people will recognise in a glance. It frames the face, gives 'presence' to your costume, and can make a simple outfit look authoritative. Whether you are leading a mutiny, striding into a tavern, or just walking across a fairground - this hat will make it so the focus is always on you.

The tricorn is made from real leather, which is built to last. The leather gives form and structure to maintain its shape, whilst remaining pliable and comfortable to wear all day long at LARP events, festivals, or on stage. Over time, the leather will soften, obtaining creases and characteristic marks that will tell a story of your past and your costume.

The sword sits in your baldric hanging down over your Aramis Shirt, faithful to its master despite the challenges. It has been a long and dusty road, but that sword has remained at your side through it all.

As your infantry unit comes to a halt, there is the tension one always feels before the fight. You resist the anxiety, because the moment you step into battle all of that must fade away. It will be you fighting alongside your fellow soldiers, and it will be the sword hanging in your trusted baldric that keeps you alive.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s Shirt Aramis is a loose roguish garment designed for comfort and style. Made from light cotton, this shirt falls just under the hip and is fitted with a lace-trimmed collar with a v-neckline. Adjust the collar opening with a cotton cord under the throat. The sleeves are designed to give a full, loose look associated with swashbucklers, pirates and musketeers. Tighten a cotton cord at the wrists to keep the lace-embellished fabric out of the way.

The style is classic late renaissance, but will match a wide variety of characters. Match with other Epic Armoury clothes and armours to create your personalized look.

HISTORY

• Shirts began as a form of undergarments for men in the 7th-10th centuries
• Considered more of a Renaissance-era fashion for men with its billowy sleeves
• Traditionally worn as an underlayer beneath a doublet or vest

DETAILS

The Trench Bowie is the knife that resembles an old hand-me-down. Modelled on the utilitarian and uncouth trench knives of World War I, this foam dagger combines the crude shape of a Bowie knife with the unadorned utility of a knuckle guard. It’s the sort of tool you’d expect to find clutched in the hand of a mercenary, a scavenger, or anyone who’s had to scrap their way through a rough world.

At 46 cm overall length, it's small enough to keep with you, yet big enough to do some good. The sawback edge on the clip-point blade provides grit and visual texture without compromising safety. The worn-wood-textured handle, with a worn-wood feel between the fingers, is wrapped in distressed brass, and the four knuckle guard finger holes give it a big, intimidating profile. It has character and grit, even when it's just riding on your belt.

DETAILS

The Hunter Belt – Suede captures all of the functional aspects of a medieval belt, and takes the extra step of adding a soft and evolved touch. It is an accessory that will not compete for attention, but adds a characterful detail to your overall outfit — the small variations that will make an outfit feel more authentic as a whole.

The leather for the belt is real suede leather, so it has weight for a thick leather, but it also has flexibility. Suede has a matte surface, which helps it immediately stand out amongst polished leather. The cut makes it wide enough to add presence for wearing over tunics, coats, or gambesons, and it won't tweak or slide while you move; we employed a double-buckle closure to allow more secure fitting, so that if you're running, sparring, or hauling your gear, you will not have to worry if it will slide beyond where you want it to be. 

It's faux leather, so it's only for internet pirates

I scorn to do anyone a mischief when it is not for my advantage.

The faux leather Pirate Hat from Epic Armoury is made for Vegan Larpers seeking all-weather protection. Made from thick polyurethane material, this tricorn hat fits well with colonials and pirates. It has a very wide brim that has been pinned up on three sides?, giving the period hat three corners or points. This triangular hat comes in three sizes and is decorated with an elegant canvas laced trim around the brim. This buccaneer hat is reinforced with heavy stitching and will not rot or absorb water. Making the perfect costume piece for any hardened adventurer.

You’re the first to spot the sails o’ a ship on the horizon, and so the chase begins. You and your crewmates have a reputation as the most formidable pirates on the sea, and it’s time to defend your title.

You board the merchant’s ship with your cutlass at the ready. They have heard o’ your flag before, and so they be surrendering smartly. Good. This be easy loot! You and your crew pack what plunder you can find before a Royal Navy ship can come along, but as you pass the miserable captain you notice his tricorne hat. The hat is your share o’ the profit with a simple snatch from the man’s head.

A mighty fine Pirate Hat it is, too.

DETAILS

Epic Armoury’s “tricorne” Pirate Hat is handmade from natural full-grain quality leather and sturdy stitching, embellished with cotton canvas and laced leather around the brim. Inspired by popular 18th century hats of the time, its brim is turned up and pinned to form a triangle around the crown with leather lacing. With regular leather care, you can expect this hat to add a special touch to your kit for a long time!

HISTORY

• Referred to as a “tricorne” or “cocked hat”
• Popular by the end of the 17th century as both civilian fashion and military uniform
