pirate hat

Swashbuckler costume accessory

A pirate hat is a wide-brimmed hat with the brim folded up on two or three sides, creating a triangular shape—properly called a tricorn or bicorn.

The style is associated with 18th-century seafarers and appears constantly in pirate costumes, children's play, and Halloween: She made a pirate hat out of newspaper.
