Inspiration

Black felt three-cornered hats were the headwear of choice for stylish 18th-century gentlemen. 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. Hats were often decorated with leather straps or a cockade.
