William Brand Posted May 31, 2005 Posted May 31, 2005 Winfield Cover makes a decent tricorn for around $115. http://winfieldcoverco.com/special.htm
Ace of Harbor Bay Posted May 31, 2005 Posted May 31, 2005 It's not as difficult as one might think to make your own. I cheated and didn't sew a stitch on mine. the brim and the crown are seperate parts and I used contact cement to join them. The crown was soaked and then stretched over a form (I used a plastic construction helmet). That way you don't end up with one of the ones that's shaped from a cowbow hat. You can make a pattern out of paper for the brim to get the exact shape you want first, then cut the leather. There's an ok shot of mine from the top here: my tricorn It's not perfect but I was in a hurry or drunk I can't remember which, maybe both www.pirate4hire.com Pirates of Harbor Bay
Gentleman of Fortune Posted June 1, 2005 Posted June 1, 2005 Leather huh? If you decide against leather, Captain Jack makes a decent hat that comes waterproofed for about $140.

Rumba Rue Posted June 1, 2005 Posted June 1, 2005 Good price on those hats,thanks for the site, Gentleman of Fortune. Ok my bitch...why does just about everyone have to have a hat like in POTC? Why do people have to look, act, dress, have similar names, or are 'family' of the Sparrow name? Can't you people come up with something more original?
blackjohn Posted June 1, 2005 Posted June 1, 2005 Rumba, that's a legit bitch. If it's not a rhetorical one, I'd suggest starting a new topic under...??? Rabble Rousing sounds appropriate. My Home on the Web The Pirate Brethren Gallery Dreams are the glue that holds reality together.

I've always liked the look of the hat (Before the movie was out), I could careless who the hell wairs it.
