Uses:
they had to walk about the Tversky boulevard escorted by a footman with a gold cockade in his hat
---
an elderly, heavily built peasant, dressed in a dirty blue blouse, heavy sabots, from which wisps of straw protruded all round, shabby blue trousers, and the inevitable red cap with the tricolour cockade, that proclaimed his momentary political views. He carried a short wooden pipe, from which the odour of rank tobacco emanated.
Baroness Emmuska Orczy. The Scarlet Pimpernel
---
The royal government's progress across the city, through a grim and suspicious multitude, must have been an ordeal for the king, and it ended with a humiliating gesture— he was obliged to pin to his hat a red, white, and blue ribbon, the cockade of the revolution.
Thomas J. Craughwell. Thomas Jefferson's Crème Brûlée, p.132 (2012)
