UPDATED PRODUCTION TIME: current production time - 10-12 WEEKS. If possible we will ship sooner. Lil Grizz is determined to give each hat the needed time and attention to detail. However over the past year there have been times that health situation changed our shop schedule.

The tricorn hat is a classic. There are many variations of it historically so please let us know what country and era your representation is of so that we can match it. If you are copying a specific painting, please include a photo of it in the comments section. This particular style of tricorn was worn to designate the fact that one was a member of a local militia or in support of them.

NOTE: This Militia Tricorn is only available in Pecan in small and medium head measurements. Please contact us to verify prior to ordering.

These original hats are totally hand made. Lil Grizz and Mizz Grizz block their fur felt hats without a blocking machine. They use only traditional, non-mechanized pre-1800 methods. They use only steam and the touch of their skilled hands to compete the final shaping of the crown and brim. Because of this, each hat has a one of a kind look and may have slight indentations or marks from the traditional process. Please do not expect these hats to be perfectly rounded as they are not stamped out on a mold but are methodically pulled into shape by the Grizz's trained hands.

Their unique comfort sweatband is made of an absorbent material that is covered with cotton cloth for a comfortable custom fit. The signature pencil curl on the brim strengthens the brim in the traditional manner as well as adding a touch of class to your new treasure. ... And don't worry about going out in the rain.... It is a working hat and safe for wear in all types of weather.

All our hats are custom made to fit your head instead of just made to a hat size. You will need to measure your head to the nearest 1/8th of inch using a sewing tape measure. It is best to have a second person to help you get an accurate measurement. Here is a link to a photo explanation of how to measure your head: https://www.facebook.com/HatsByGrizzMadeWithJoy/photos/?tab=album&album_id=848590925230056. If you have had trouble getting a hat to fit properly or you know that your head is a long oval please also send us a photo of the to top of your head using the customer comments section of the order form. (A simple cell phone picture will be fine.)

NOTE: If you have discussed your order with us on our facebook page, please make a reference to that conversation in the customer comments section of the order.

NOTE: Hats By Grizz does not supply any outer hat bands as there are too many options and we feel that a customer's hatband is a personal statement. (We can recommend various artisans who create leather, beadwork, and quillwork hatbands upon request.)

NOTE: Due to our use of the wood stove, antique non-mechanized tools, traditional methods and hand shaping each hat will have variations of shape and will arrive with a slightly distressed look and feel. If you are looking for a spot-less hat that is absolutely identical to the photo then we are not the best choice for your purchase......However....if you are looking for a hat that is legendary in fit and style for a reasonable price then we are the best choice for your purchase!
