    costume party …

  6. Con he didn't wear that hat 😮

  7. Then the buyer finds a “made in China” tag tucked underneath lining

  8. Bicorne a la française. The hat gave Napoleon a distinctive silhouette during battle,(to let his troops know where he was). A very brave general who did not hide his presence in battle,his hat was a rallying cry or beacon for his soldiers.
