Bearskin Hat - Made of black bear fur, the hat is very distinctive, worn by grenadiers, fusiliers, and musicians.  The rear has a red wool backing and should have a pewter flaming grenade device in the rear.  Pioneers wore a smaller version with a different front plate.
Cocked Hat - Heavy black wool felt with white worsted wool trim and a black cockade.  Hat must also have a white ostrich feather, the "Roussillon Plume."  Occasionally, the cocked hat was worn by the grenadiers, it is an acceptable option until a proper bearskin can be acquired.
