tri corn hat
« on: December 11, 2008, 12:53:35 AM »
Does anyone know if a tricorn hat would be correct for the year around 1780 or so for a ohio pioneer/explorer.

or would a more "floppy" felt hat be correct like the painting of the american rifleman posted in another post on down.

A tricorn was the style in 1780 so go for it. I have both and use them both.

My wife does the same thing! At first, I laughed, but she won't let the joke die & it's gotten to be irritating! :evil:

Eric. there's two ways to explain it. Either she's into history and into you because you're into history too, or she's into you and will enjoy being with you whatever you do. Either way, she's a keeper. I got lucky with a wife that's both....into me and into history. If finding her used up every bit of luck I'll ever have---totally worth it.

Dave
