What is a pirate hat called?

the tricorn

The tricorn hat is a classic pirate hat that is characterized by its three-cornered design. It was commonly worn by privateers and pirates during the 17th and 18th centuries. The tricorn hat was typically made out of felt or wool, and had a brim that was turned up on three sides. This allowed the wearer to easily store their hat on their shoulder when they were not wearing it. The tricorn hat was sometimes adorned with feathers or gold braiding to show off the wealth and status of the pirate. It was also often used to protect the pirate's face from the sun and rain while they were out at sea. The tricorn hat became a symbol of piracy and is still popular today as a Halloween costume.
