Tricorn Hat

"Jack's hat!" ~ Mr. Gibbs

This tricorn style hat was Jack's most valued part of his appearance; a faded and aged brown tricorn [also spelled tricone or called a 3 corner hat]. Johnny Depp collaborated with costume designer Penny Rose on his character's appearance, and handpicked the tricorn as Sparrow's signature leather hat: consequently the other characters in the series could not wear this style, to make Sparrow's unique. The original hat was purchased from Pieroni Bruno in Rome.

Interestingly enough, for the scene where that hat floats on water in Dead Man's Chest, a rubber version was fabricated.

Fabrication

• The hat is rarely worn in the movie. Unless you are quite handy, this may be one of those items you will have to buy if you really want to add it to your costume. It could be made with some starched heavy weight fabric, cut into a circle and pulled up to three points, tacked and then attached to a matching touque.
