Tarred Peter The Great Knit Hat For Sale


Recommended Posts

Here is an interesting piece of head gear for those of you looking for something that not every pirate re-enactor is wearing....

Tzar Peter took a tour of the English and Dutch shipyards during the early part of the 18th century. He was impressed with a style of high-crowned, brimmed, knitted hats that were so popular amongst seamen and bought a few for himself and they now reside in the Hermitage Museum, St. Petersburg.

This particular hat is made from natural grey 2ply 100% sheep wool yarn.

The kicker is, the hat has been "tarred" for waterproofing. I tarred the hat with "Original Stockholm Tar" and its pretty sweet. Of course it has that smoky tar smell that screams "old salt on deck".
