Yes sir, same style hat! Bycockets were thought to be worn for riding, hunting, and falconing / hawking.
Lord Dane:
The 14th century top hat. ;D
Sir Brian:
Awesome! When I saw your post about your new hat on FB I didn’t realize you started off with such a very basic floppy hat! Well done indeed! :)

Thanks. Yeah, they start life as basically a bowl shaped hat with a round brim. Gwen suggests spraying it with a little 50/50 mixture of alcohol and shellac to stiffen it a bit, but I just left it as is, and it holds it's shape just fine after steaming, shaping, and cooling.
Sir Wolf:
