Description of the Product
A very popular medieval hat model, the equivalent of which today could be a regular baseball cap. This hat protects the eyes from sunlight, but does not interfere with movement, work or tinkering in any way. These hats were worn with the cap forward as well as backward, just like today's baseball caps. What makes this hat style special is that these hats were worn equally by both men and women.
These hats were especially popular on the heads of hunters. The hat design does not prevent or interfere with the use of the bow, so it was a natural easy choice for bow hunters. And of course, the most famous archer, who made this historical medieval headgear famous, is Robin Hood.
These hats are also called bycocked hat. The most common way to use a bycocked hat is to turn the bottom edge of the hat up from the back and sides, so that a beak forms in front to shade your eyes, looking a bit like a birds beak. In French, the name of this hat is chapeau Ă bec (beak hat).
You can use the hat as is, or tuck a feather of your choice on your cap to add some flair. If the feather is large, you can attach it with, for example, a pin. Using a pin instead of thread and needle makes it easy to remove or replace the feather. In the Middle Ages, these hats were often decorated with feathers, jewels and other similar decorations.
These hats were popular from the 13th century to the 16th century. Originally, the bycocked hat became popular as the hat of nobles and royalty, then it was adopted by merchants and eventually became the hat of the common people also.
