  • Why did British Naval Officers wear the same hat two different ways?

    Posted by admin on February 19th, 2010 and filed under hat | 1 Comment »

    Why did the British Naval Officers (1700’s, 1800’s eras) at the rank of Lieutenant and above wear the same type of hat either with the points going side-to-side or front-to-back? That hat I’m talking about is what the average person would think of as being a "Captain’s Hat," but whether it just be incorrect Hollywood or not, I have seen many times where the hat is rotated 90 degrees from what I thought was the normal way to wear it.

    Because they are weird!
