Triolian
noun / adjective — try-OH-lee-an
A deliberately not-Tyrolean style characterized by angular construction, improvised materials, questionable provenance, and the confidence to wear the result anyway.
Originally coined for the Triolian Hat: a faceted field hat inspired by the traditional Tyrolean silhouette but reconstructed through found-material design.
Example:
“Is that a Tyrolean hat?”
“No. It's Triolian.”
“What's the difference?”
“About three dumpsters.”
Related principles:
Find first. Function before product. Use what exists.
See also: Plyde, dumpster couture, found-object design, creative mischief.
Best part: anybody correcting the spelling is unknowingly participating in the joke. 😂🎩
