#bicorn

Winston Churchill’s coat and ostrich-feather trimmed bicorn hat (bottom left), both forming the principal parts of his official uniform as a Privy Counsellor. 

The goldwork on the coat is made up of shiny, reflective metal pieces, not just gold thread. This uniform is no longer worn by Privy Counsellors. 

Churchill was appointed a Privy Counsellor in 1907. It is a lifetime appointment, and he died in 1965.

Photograph taken at his country house, Chartwell, Westerham, Kent, now owned by the National Trust and open to the public.

The bicorne hat, so named because of its two horns, is a descendent of the tricorne. Though the bicorne is often associated with Napoleon, it was part of numerous military uniforms across the globe from the late 18th century until the First World War. The upper bicorne is a reproduction of a hat worn by Napoleon. It is meant to be worn “athwart,” with its horns pointing to either side. The second hat is a bicorne belong to a naval uniform of unknown extraction, patterned to be worn “fore to aft,” with its horns face front to back.
