The bicorn hat is the most historically specific hat in the Novella range. It is the hat worn by Napoleon Bonaparte, by the admirals and generals of the Napoleonic Wars, and by the naval officer class of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century. Its two-pointed silhouette is so specifically associated with that particular historical moment that wearing one today carries an unmistakable reference to that era.
This authentic version is handmade from 100% wool felt with the traditional Napoleonic military two-pointed design. Available in S/M and L/XL sizing to accommodate most adults. The handmade wool construction gives the hat the structural rigidity to hold its two-point silhouette correctly without the points softening or drooping through wearing.
Works for Napoleonic reenactments, period-themed events, historical costume occasions, and theatrical performances where the bicorn silhouette is the required headwear. The quality of the wool felt construction means the hat reads as historically authentic rather than decorative.
