Capotain

The Capotain (Copotain/Capatain) is tall wide-brimmed hat worn during the late 16th and 17th centuries


The hat is associated with Puritans and English Civil War


The hat is also with Pilgrim that settled in the Plymouth colony America in 1620, hence its often also called a Pilgrims Hat


The hat is also worn by witchfinders and had a buckle on the front of the crown, but both of these are images created in 19th Century fiction probably untrue.

Slitted cap


This Tudor shape flat cap is made from one piece of felt

 

The crown is slitted around the edge to give it a distinctive look.


This is hat is part of our groups larp kit and has been around for donkey's years (donkey years = an unspecified long time) and worn by many people.


Recently patched with a bit of felt and glue wear one of split hat torn through.

Black Flat Cap


This velvet Tudor flat cap is a bit posh for the soldier wearing it below


 Part of a set of Tudor cap from a theatre sale


I think this hat needs a plume to enhance it, as its a little plain.
