Bycocket Shaped Hat

This hat is shaped like a bycocket or robin hood hat, made of patterned fabric, lined and decorated with a button and feathers.


The hat is made of soft fabric which makes it sit very differently on the head, it flattens out spreading outside the circumference of your head. Without that stiffness or a band to grip the head, it also feels more insecure than it should.


This is one of those awkward hats which I'm not sure where I will use it, it's not general-purpose to go about walking in, does not fit in a fantasy or historical use, not silly enough to be a novelty hat.



Currently thinking it may get used for some sort of drippy nobleman character



This was a Christmas present, much appreciated even if unsure of use yet.
