Tricorne Hats were worn by men and women from about 1650 through to the end of the 1700's. This makes them a fashion accessory during the main years of the Caribbean Pirates, the American Revolution, and the French Revolution. They were also an item of military dress and remain a part of the uniform of the Chelsea Pensioners.
