Pirate Hats

What’s a pirate without a hat? Still a pirate, but probably an irate one, whose missing hat is likely a sore issue that’s best left unmentioned. If you’re one of these hatless pirates sailing around the world, don’t despair. 

Check out Medieval Collectibles, where you can complete your pirate costumes with the best pirate hat that fits your style.

Sail the High Seas with Our Pirate Hat Collection

We sell high-quality pirate hats, costumes, and accessory options ranging from the incredibly ornate to the classically simple. Each pirate hat is ideally suited for pirates or scallywags to wear at parties or whenever they’re off to adventure in the high seas in search of pillage and plunder. 

Many (but not all) of our pirate hats are in the classic tricorn hat style, which is commonly and famously associated with these sea-loving adventurers. Some are adorned with elegant feathers that create a dramatic look, while others feature beautiful feathers for added flair.

These hats were often the hat of choice for such famous pirates as Captain Jack Sparrow and Captain James Hook. Other pirate hats are bicorn hats, while others are bandanas, wraps, and head ties, all of which feature a classic pirate style that sends a bold message when you step on board.

On occasion, a pirate hat with a small brim is a practical idea. It could also be a tricorn hat, but smaller in shape, while still doing its job of protecting the head like a protective crown. Available in various sizes, including medium, large, and X-large, taking into account different head sizes and comfort preferences.

The tricorn pirate hat was trendy in pirate costumes beyond its unconventional appearance. Before they became popular at Halloween parties, pirate hats were well-known because they were helpful on rainy days. 

These triangular pirate hats have brims turned up and pinned on three sides, creating channels that act like furrows. When rain falls, the water goes to the shoulders instead of the face.

You could pair your pirate costume with a scarf and an eye patch, a classic pirate look for any party or occasion.

Whether you’re putting together a pirate costume for the first time or seeking a replacement adult pirate hat (either to replace one you’ve lost or to preempt disaster), look no further. Medieval Collectibles has virtually every pirate hat, eye patch, scarf, and other props you’ll ever need or want.

Please note, however, that some pirates rank each other based on their hats. A grand hat might invite challenges from your captain or other captains who think themselves better. If you plan on attending a party with pirate costumes, this historical knowledge can change your costume choice.
