Sail the High Seas with Our Pirate Hat Collection

We carry all pirate hats, costumes, and accessory options–ranging from the incredibly ornate to the classically simple. Each pirate hat is ideally suited for any pirate or scallywag to wear at a party 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. It was 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.

On occasion, a pirate hat with a small brim is practical. It could also be a tricorn hat, but smaller in shape while still doing its job of protecting the head from rain and sun.

The tricorn pirate hat was trendy in pirate costumes beyond its unconventional appearance. Before being popularized at a Halloween party, pirate hats were well-known in the past because it was helpful during rainy days. These triangular pirate hats produce brims with turned-up portions that act like a furrow. 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 the hat you already lost or just to preempt disaster), you can find virtually every pirate hat, eye patch, scarf, and other props you’ll ever need or want here at Medieval Collectibles.

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 trivia can change your costume’s overall pattern.
