    If he was such an important person, how come he had to wear such an old hat?

      The Puritans were a radical Protestant sect who believed nice things were too ‘popish’ (ie Catholic)

      So their works tend to be… austere.

    Does anyone actually believe this?
    No citations and doesn’t look like a hat.

Just a community for everyone to share artifacts, reconstructions, or replicas for the historically-inclined to admire!

Generally, an artifact should be 100+ years old, but this is a flexible requirement if you find something rare and suitably linked to an era of history, not a strict rule. Anything over 100 is fair game regardless of rarity.
