Brit.Privateer Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Was looking through some old posts on another forum and I came upon this thread, and thought of this one instantly. Hope it helps with this conversation on the Peter the Great hat: http://www.ukpiratebrotherhood.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=795.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivan Henry aka Moose Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Since for some reason I cannot edit my latest post I need to put these pictures here. Following pictures are dutch sailor from 1695-1730 so clearly from Gaop. Note large number of PTGs None of those appear to be knit from my view...

Capt. Trueblood Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Here's a gallery of pictures from the the Danish Museum in Copenhagen: https://picasaweb.google.com/103688495868327126656/TextilesInTheDanishMuseumInCopenhagen?authkey=Gv1sRgCNa3296h2Yqm3QE# There are a number of different hats and gloves, although the hats seem to be of either the PtG variety or of a more standard stocking cap type. It may well be that the "Monmouth" type cap was a purely English thing. Of note: in one of the pictures there is an albeit thread-bare though recognisable thrum cap! And I thought they were extinct.

Capt. Sterling Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Knitted hat, thick wool, Copenhagen, late 16th or first half of 17th century, National Museum of Denmark "I being shot through the left cheek, the bullet striking away great part of my upper jaw, and several teeth which dropt down the deck where I fell... I was forced to write what I would say to prevent the loss of blood, and because of the pain I suffered by speaking."~ Woodes Rogers Crewe of the Archangel http://jcsterlingcptarchang.wix.com/creweofthearchangel# http://creweofthearchangel.wordpress.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan Henry aka Moose Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 I'm now wondering if there is any provenance in the knit PTG styles being treated with anything. Some of them appear to be a little stiff, holding their shape. From first hand experience, They don,t seem to hold shape like the dancing Dutch sailor's cap does.

See e.g picture 1 there is that tab that there is in Monmouths. and even that PTG hat of Peter The Great don't look knitted but it is. what are others verdict?

Ivan Henry aka Moose Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 I have a PTG hat. It does not hold the shape of the last two examples. The first one is too small for me to have a strong opinion one way or the other, the second image - the Caspar Luiken one, could quite possibly be knit but once again, the brim is holding a shape that mine doesn't. All of this is my supposition though... I am wondering if they were treated with something to stiffen and waterproof them.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivan Henry aka Moose Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 The way the brim turns up and looks stiff - I guess that one is a felt hat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swashbuckler 1700 Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 If you mean the buccaneer no I am pretty sure that is ptg there is even thread loop on the top. Some PTGs had quite stiff brim like that that Peter the Great had. What are others beliefs?
