The Cockedhat is a form of formal headgear, worn by certain civilian, military and naval officials from the mid-19th Century until the beginning of World War II and occasionally even today.
Evolved from the bicorne, the fl-coloured cockedhat is triangular in shape, with the brim at the left and right sides turned up and pinned together; the front and back ends are pointed; there is usually a cockade in the national colours at the right side.

A hat with the brim turned, like that of a bishop, dean, etc. It is also applied to the chapeau bras, and the military full-dress hat, pointed before and behind, and rising to a point at the crown, the chapeaù à cornu.
“Cock” in this phrase means to turn; cocked, turned up.
