Boys Cocked Yellow Trim Hat
On any given day in Colonial Williamsburg's Historic Area, you'll see a three-cornered hat on visitors as well as interpreters. In the 18th-century, the hats were often "cocked" so a gentleman could show his wig. Some accounts note that the sides became cocked when military men would hold their hat under their arm, thereby folding the sides up. Eventually gentlemen started folding the sides up on purpose. The Boys Cocked Yellow Trim Hat comes in three sizes:
Small 20" Inside Circumference
Medium 20 1/2" Inside Circumference
Large 21" Inside Circumference
