Grasshopper St Landsknecht Tellerbarret Version 1.0

The Tellerbarret (platter hat) is widely represented in 16th century German woodcuts. It can be seen on the Landsknecht (mercenary soldiers) as well as on men and women of other classes. It could be quite large, or more restrained in size. Decorations ranged from exuberant ostrich plumes to elegant metal or pearl embroidery. Slashing was sometimes used to display a colorful silk lining.

The hat style referred to in modern times as the "starfish" probably evolved from the slashed schlappe (an arming cap) and the split brim barret. It is characterized by the slashed brim which separates into wide loops. Like the tellerbarret, it was festooned with ostrich feathers.

The hats are easily tinted to any color you want by choosing the white/silver options on the HUD, then selecting those faces on the hat itself in edit mode. Change the color of the desired face in the texture tab.

These hats were specifically designed to work along with the Landsknecht outfit & armor created by Pucca Firecaster. If you haven't seen that set yet, it's amazing - do take a look!
