Edit war[edit]

Previous edit was a shot in an edit war, when consensus hasn't been reached. Please cease and desist until the community reaches consensus. The Editrix 12:24, 13 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You're the one who's unilaterally trying to impose her strange categorizations on Wikipedia, without even having the common decency to offer the remainder of us peons on Wikipedia one single shred of meaningful explanation. The fact that you've been silent on your user talk page for three days now (while very actively editing on Wikipedia all the while), indicates that you have no meaningful explanation to offer -- and that being the case, I feel no hesitancy in reverting to the categories that were there before you started unilaterally imposing your individual agenda. Frankly, your high-and-mighty accusations of "edit-warring" don't go very well together with your refusal to offer any meaningful explanation for your uncooperative unilateral actions (which others have called into question as well as my self).Churchh 13:16, 16 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Where Could I Purchase One Of These Hats? Add Some Links!

When was the bicorne worn sideways and when was it worn lengthwise?[edit]

I have searched for further information on this issue, but didn't find anything useful. If someone knows, it'd be a useful addition to the article. Deprigorm (talk) 15:10, 13 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I believe the Italian Carabieri still wear the bicorne as part of their dress uniform.

I think Galliano Liquor has a carabinere wearing a bicorne on the label. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.69.182.1 (talk) 14:20, 23 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have been wondering the same, which is how I ended up here! Has anyone established, or even dared hazard a theory, as to when the bicorn hat was worn with the hat's long axis oriented sagittally and when it was worn with the long way coronally? Mang (talk) 01:47, 11 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting question. See expanded second paragraph two in main text of article, which attempts to answer it. Buistr (talk) 06:03, 11 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

A question regarding the term 'cocked hat'[edit]

This may just be some tidbit of apocryphal minutiae, but I've heard that the term 'cocked hat' was the native name of the time for the tricorne hat.

If that's the case, we may wish to alter things hereabouts somewhat. If I'm mistaken, however, well, I learn something new, I suppose. Ghost Lourde (talk) 22:40, 14 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

What material are these things made of?
