Pilgrim Buckled Hats
■■■■■
When envisioning the Pilgrims, a distinct image often comes to mind: dark clothing, plain buckles on their hats and shoes. This popular depiction, however, doesn't quite align with historical reality.
●
What People Remember
People often remember Pilgrims wearing tall, black hats with prominent buckles, and buckles on their shoes.
◉
What's Actually True
While Pilgrims did wear hats, the large buckles on hats and shoes were a fashion trend that became popular much later in the 17th century. The Pilgrims, focused on practicality, would have worn plainer hats and simpler fastenings, not the ornate buckles often depicted.
