00:00 Bowler Hat Introduction
One of the most popular hat styles is the bowler, and while it’s rarely seen in today’s modern fashion, it’s definitely a classic, which we here at the Gentleman’s Gazette continue to appreciate.
00:40 What Is A Bowler Hat?
Also referred to as a “derby hat” depending on your location, it's a stiff hat. It can be made from polyester, wool felt, or for the best quality possible, fur felt.
03:21 History of the Bowler Hat
It started in 1849. The bowler wasn’t originally designed for style but rather for practicality.
04:45 Why does this hat have so many names?
▬ The hat was originally known as the “Coke hat” named after the Earl, William Coke.
▬ The gamekeepers who wore the hat at Holkham Hall gave it the moniker “Billy Coke” after William Coke, which later morphed into “Billycock.”
▬ Thomas and William Bowler started making more of these hats for the public and decided to market them under their own name as “bowler hats,” which is why this is the most common name for them today. Lock & Co, however, does still refer to this hat style as “the Coke.”
▬ In England, the 12th Earl of Derby began a series of annual horse racing events called the Oaks Stakes named after his estate in 1780. It was later renamed the Derby Stakes and is now known as the Epsom Derby. The word “derby” here meaning a flat race between three-year-old horses.
06:38 19th & 20th Century Bowlers
09:37 The Decline of the Bowler Hat
13:10 Wearing A Bowler Hat: Classic Look
14:15 Casual Look
14:38 Avoid: 1. Mass-Produced-Looking Hats
Most bowlers that are made today are often made cheaply and will use polyester blends or, sometimes, even 100% polyester felts in their construction.
16:15 2. Hats with Feathers (For Non-Hipster Looks)
Feathers in men’s hats date back as far as the 16th century, but they largely died out by around the 17th century, with the exception of military fashions. By the time of the bowler hats introduction, feathers weren’t very popular unless going for a distinctly costumey or theatrical look.
16:45 3. Women’s Bowler Hat Styles
Women’s styles typically sport much shorter brims that are often snapped up all the way around or down all the way around and feature feminine accents like flowers, lace, or large ribbons. These are, again, more in line with cloche styles. They’re also usually softer in construction as opposed to the men’s styles, which, again, are hard and shaped.
20:52 Bowler Hat Care Tips
Before each wear of a bowler hat, you should remember to brush it off with a hat brush as even the smallest amount of dust on the hat that comes into contact with moisture, like raindrops, can potentially leave a stain on the hat’s surface.
