Trivia: What was the name of the style of hat worn by George Washington?
Trilby
Bicorne
Tricorne
Fedora
The correct answer is Tricorne
So why is this answer correct? : Fashionable in the 18th century, the three-cornered hat developed on the battlefield when soldiers wearing wide-brimmed hats began pinning up the corners to channel rainwater away from their faces. Also known as a “cocked hat,” tricornes were worn by four U.S. Presidents, starting with George Washington and ending with James Monroe — earning him the nickname “The Last Cocked Hat.”
