Background
The founder and owner of CockedHats.com has been creating cocked hats and other styles for himself and friends for nearly 40 years. Our customers belong to living history organizations, work for historical sites and also recreate famous period personalities.
We have been what is now known as a "living historian" since 1964 having recreated every period from the French and Indian War through World War II. We began recreating the Civil War with the North-South Skirmish Association (N-SSA) near the end of the Civil War Centennial. We went on to become a founding member of the 60th Foot, Royal American Regiment at the Fort Pitt Museum. The coming Bicentennial led to our membership with several units in the Brigade of the American Revolution (B.A.R.). Our research focus is on uniforms and clothing of the eighteenth century in North America. We are members of the Brigade of the American Revolution, British Brigade, the Company of Military Historians, Civil War Preservation Trust and other living history, preservation and military history organizations.Recommended Merchants, Craftsmen and Organizations.
Based on our personal experience with products and services, we recommend the following sutlers.
