A bycocket or bycoket is a style of hat that was fashionable for both men and women in Western Europe from the 13th to the 16th century.[1][2] It has a wide brim that is turned up in the back and pointed in the front like a bird's beak.[3] In French, it is called a chapeau à bec due to this resemblance.[1]
The hat was originally worn by nobles and royalty, and later by the rising merchant class.[1][2][3] It was often decorated with feathers, jewels, or other ornaments.[1][3] Today, it is commonly associated with the character Robin Hood.[4]
