  4. Ahoy mates! Does anyone know of a place where I might buy a black rosette cockade to adorn my tricorn? I have seen several sites with hats for sale, such as Jarnigan, Jas. Townsend, etc., but I'm looking for somewhere that will sell me just the simple round cockade with a pewter button. I wonder if there is anyone out there who makes them? Heck, if I had a pattern or some instructions, I'd try making one myself! Anyway, if anyone can help, I'd be obligin' to ye!

  7. Started making 'em and selling 'em off myself, and while I have no delusions of grandeur I'm happy that I recouped my investment on each one! Obviously they are all from the late 18th century, the first one is rabbit felt and the others are canvas covered wool felt, all the cockades were made by yours truly, and everything was hand-stiched (The Blisters! Arrgghh!). The last one I'm almost done with, the person who is buying it wants it to look like Aubrey's hat from <i>Master & Commander: The Far Side of the World. </i>I think I've got most of the details right, just have to figure out a way to make it shiny now, anyone have any ideas?<br><br>And yes, I know it's basically the same hat made three times over, but just wanted to share!
  8. lookey lookey what i ran over leaving work. yup, got onto the interstate and saw this sitting upside down on the side of the road. So I turned myself around at the next "authorized use only" median and went back to fetch it. Well it came up so quickly that I ran it over on the recovery lap. Still in good shaped- its a townsend. Now, to leave it or modify?
  9. Hello folks, Working on a hat and trying to get the look of a tarred hat without actually having to resort to using roofing tar. I've had marginal success with some different beeswax mixtures. The hats are water repellant, but just don't have that sheen of a true tar hat. The finish looks a little...well, not fuzzy, but you can see that's still felt instead of looking more like black leather the way a tarred hat does. I sprayed the hat with acrylic a few good coats before hand, but suspect that wasn't enough to keep the hat from absorbing all the wax I put on it. I bought some brush on acrylic to see if that might work better. Any help you can offer is much appreciated. Thanks, -Pipes-
  10. J'ai décider d'agrémenter mon nouveau chapeau d'un trou de balle: Le trou est fait à l'aide d'un outil pour le bois: Puis agrandir le trou à l'aide d'un bout de bois: Puis j'ai bruler l'ensemble à l'aide d'un briquet: Et voila:
  11. after seeing a few people over the weekend at fort de chartres wearing wide brimmed hats to help combat the sun, i decided to purchase one... the hat needs a little reshaping ... i want to make a more pronounced edge where the brim meets the crown... hope this makes sense !!! that way it won't slope down so much like the pic shows.. i am thinking that a bowl of the correct size to hold the shape of the crown while flattening the brim and maybe even something wrapped aroung the base of the crown ( a belt, rope ?? ) to help define the edge better... i dunno... any advice would be appreciated :)
  12. It was a popular fashion to wear (not just wigs or hats) but headpieces to various functions. It could be something like the extreme pouf of a wig with feathers or something as exciting as a ship in the hair. I know that you'll probably say "Hey, pirates weren't wearing party dresses!" and I'll reply with "Not even as a deceptive measure perhaps in an unfriendly town?" I have heard of a guillotine headpiece and I thought I knew where a picture was, but I can't find it. It was worn to a beheading. Anyway, have fun with these images.
  13. A simple question... Most (cocked) hats I see are black or something dark. Is this a mather of fasion, backed up by archeological, pictorial or written evidence? Or do we al think that dark collored hats are cooler then white, beighe or pink ones...
  14. Here is my attempt at a late revolutionary period bicorne, not GAoP by any means but I want to show it off to someone! The blank is from the Empire Costumes in france. I cut down the brim extensively, it measures about 8 inches tall on the fan and 6 1/2 in the front. After a lot of trial and error I also realized that the brims on hats from this period were not cut in a circle but more of an elongated oval, it might seem obvious but it was a revelation to me! I way overdid it with the starch on the brim and it got really wrinkly, but I like it as it has sort of an aged look. And I need to practice my hand stitching big time. The binding, cockade, loop and button were all purchased at JoAnns for about 15 bucks so the total cost for the hat (including shipping) was around 75 dollars. I plan on getting some more blanks and trying different styles as this was a hoot to do.
  15. Being new to this side of the 18th century (I've done later but not GAoP) I am still working on that most vital part of piracy - the hat. I have a low crown broad brim from Dirty Billy that I have used for my 1785 work -but now I am turning that large brim (5 inches) into something cocked. I have put in a single thread to hold up two front spots - but am not sure what will be the best (most period) material to make it a permanent change. I have some black leather cord that would be strong enough but really want this to look right since I am changing this hat for good and hopefully for the better - Finally a question - what is the most correct way for a working sailor to cock up that brim? Any pics of close-up work would be greatly appreciated. As Always Your Humble Servant, Coast Watch
  16. Here are some period hats... some are on pirates, some sailors, and some are on Gentlemen... My pirate interest really only concerns the Golden Age of Piracy (and maybe a decade or so either side), and I have only been studying and researching the topic for about the last 8 years or so (which pales in comparison to some on this board). But most of what I have read or seen period pictures of in regards to hats for the period of 1680-1730 refers mainly to tricorns, round hats,, red caps, and some sort of knit hat like a Thrum or Monmouth. The below picture represents a few hours time and rudimentary knowledge of Photoshop (and a great idea from the Salacious Historian). While it mainly concerns tricorns, if anyone has any other period picture of appropriate hats, pleas let me know and I will try to add it to the image. GoF
  17. I'm thinking of tarring my cocked hat. Anyone ever try doing this? Got any tips on substitute/modern materials? Good online sources for tar? :)
  18. Does anyone know the actual average height for crowns and width for brims circa 1695-1710? Hector
