The Hats that Made Britain

The Hats that Made Britain

A History of the Nation Through its Headwear

Although the bowler hat became the essential headgear of the City gent in the 20th century, it was first designed as practical wear for game keepers on a country estate. This millinery history explains the background and social significance of 50 famous British hats, including the flat cap, the bearskin, the Tam o’Shanter and the pith helmet.
