The first hat of the industrial age, the bowler was designed in 1850 by the Bowler family of Southwark specifically for a customer of England's pre-eminent hatmaker, Lock's of St. James's. William Coke needed a practical, simple, rigid, durable hat to protect his gamekeeper's head; a hat that would stand up to the most demanding of conditions, including riding in pursuit of poachers. Coke tested the hat's prototype by standing on its crown in Lock's showroom. Twice. It passed the test. (Caution: Those were different times - don't try this at home.) The bowler was quickly adopted as sporting attire by the gentry and, soon after, became the headgear of choice across the entire social spectrum. It was particularly popular in the late 19th century with the crowd at the Derby horse race at Epsom Downs. Americans took to calling the hat the "derby". The hat of bankers, workers and clowns, the bowler is one of the most popular and successful hats ever produced, and the finest bowlers are still manufactured in England.

The History of the Bowler Hat The History of the Bowler Hat Timothy Long Download this lecture An icon long associated with the City of London, the unmistakable bowler hat was an essential part of every City worker’s uniform.

By the 1950s, businessmen wouldn’t be seen in the Square Mile without one. Timothy Long, Curator of Fashion & Decorative Arts at the Museum of London, explores the history of this fascinating hat. This is a part of the 2014 City of London Festival . Curator of Fashion & Decorative Arts at the Museum of London. Read More This is part of the series: City of London Festival lectures Subjects The History of the Bowler Hat Timothy Long The History of the Bowler Hat Timothy Long The bowler hat was created by London’s oldest milliner, James Lock of Lock & Co., in the 1840s as a form of protective headwear. The original design was commissioned by British soldier and politician William Coke (pronounced ‘cook’) who ordered the hat to protect the heads of his gamekeeper’s who tended to his Norfolk farm. Previous to this, Mr Coke’s gamekeepers had worn top hats, which were often knocked off by low-hanging branches and subsequently damaged. This new style was made extra stiff and was shaped close to the head. One story suggests that when Mr Coke first saw the hat he had ordered, he took it outside and jumped on it a few times.

Happy with the results, he placed his order paying twelve shillings for it. [i] Due to Mr Coke’s involvement with the creation of this style, the bowler hat was often first referred to as a ‘coke’ hat. The name ‘bowler’ is said to have been the last name of the two men hired by Lock & Co to design the hat. The hat eventually went on to be called a billycock, blocker, Christie, derby and a wide variety of other names. There have also been others who claim to have been the originators of the bowler hat. Throughout the mid-19th century, the bowler hat occupied the status of work-wear for London labourers, until it was adopted by Edward VII, who made it fashionable. Throughout the 20th century, the hat’s popularity grew until it almost entirely lost its association with the working class and became synonymous with civil servants and bankers. By the 1980s, however, the hat fell out of general fashion and was seen only during the most formal occasions or within specific industries, such as in the work dress of the officers of the Queen’s Guard.

While a full comeback is unlikely, The Daily Telegraph reported in 2011 that the retailer, Austin Reed, had stocked the hats for the first time in nearly fifteen years. [ii] Definition: ‘A stiff felt hat with a low round crown and a narrow brim. The prototype was made for the London firm of Lock & Co. by the felt makers Bowler for a client William Coke in the 1840s, hence the names by which it is known. See also Billycock, Blocker, Christie, Derby.’ [iii] How it is made: The hat is made through a process called ‘blocking’ in which felt (usually wool) is stretched over a ‘block’, or form, with the aid of heat, moisture and physical strength of the milliner. Once the material is stretched over the form, it is held in place with pins and strings and allowed to cool and dry. At this stage, the block is carefully removed from the interior of the hat, which is trimmed to the desired finished product. While a variety of animal hair is used for wool felt, many bowler hats of lesser quality are made with a polyester fibre.

Scientific analysis: While analysing the collection of bowler hats in the archive of the Museum of London, numerous hats were found, dating from c. 1870 to today and manufactured by a variety of milliners, including Lock & Co. While most of the collection of bowlers is made of black wool felt, one stands out, as it was made with light grey felt. Unfortunately, when the hat was donated to the Museum of London in the 1960s, no information was given as to the object’s provenance. Due to this, the hat is simply catalogued as ‘bowler’. Upon further inspection, however, the hat’s colour appears to be one of a few unique qualities about the hat. For example, the two metal grommets punctured into each side of the hat suggest that the original wearer was intending to do physical activity and to sweat and, therefore, needed ventilation around the head. Additionally, the cord hanging from the centre back of the hat is typically associated with riding horses. And finally, the most compelling of all clues is a light ‘dusting’ of white material over the entire brim. Using a microscope, this dusting of material was analysed and identified as feathers.

Could it be that this hat, simply catalogued as a ‘bowler hat’ is actually closely connected to game keeping? Key figures in the history of the bowler hat are Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson. While the deerstalker hat is perhaps more closely associate with Holmes, he and Watson were often described and represented in illustrations wearing bowler hats. As the original Sherlock stories were written in late Victorian England, when the bowler hat was worn by most modern English gentlemen, it comes as no surprise that Holmes and Watson were often seen in this hat. Following its incredible popularity throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, the bowler hat enters an interesting chapter in its history following the end of World War II. By this point, the bowler hat, like so many other items of clothing, is subverted for a new audience by the emerging youth movements of the day. Bob Dylan refers to the bowler hat on his 1965 Bringing it all Back Home album and in 1971, the movie A Clockwork Orange features its main character, Alex DeLarge and his droogs wearing bowlers.

Perhaps the most surprising element to the history of the bowler hat is its adoption as a traditional part of women’s clothing among the Quechua and Aymara people of South America. This London-made hat is charged with a variety of connotations and meanings, which make it one of the most iconic and dynamic fashion items created over the last 200 years. bowler at Village Hat Shop Related Products: Derby | Derby Hats | Brown Derby 140 - 1890s Bowler Hat - Made to Order Â These pieces are currently Made to Order and will take 2-4 weeks to make before shipping Â Made in the USA The bowler hat, or the "Derby", was designed by the hatters James and George Lock of Mr. Lock of St. James's Street in the central London district of St. James.

Is the hat a Bowler or a Derby Millinery Classes Is it a Bowler, or a Derby? The Bowler Hat, along with the Top Hat, is probably the most commonly known of hat styles of the current day. The top Hat was essential headwear for men throughout the 1800s and no man was well dressed, day or night, without wearing this style of Hat. The top hat lost its appeal as a daily fashion accessory for men by the dawn of the 20th century, and was replaced by other forms of headwear, such as derby hats, and then the fedora. A bowler hat is also known as a derby hat. It’s a rounded, hard-topped hat with a small brim.

Black is the classic color of this hat and the hat may have a matching band around its crown, or middle. Wool felt is the classic fabric used to make derby hats. Sheep's wool is usually the only wool used to make wool felt derby hats, as it gives a nice, hard strength to the hat. Rabbit fur felt and beaver felt are used when softer hats are wanted and are not usually used to make this hat style. The derby hat was originated in 1850. It was invented for British game warden, James Coke of Norfolk, as he wanted a sturdy hat to wear while he was on horseback looking for poachers on his property. The Top Hat was then in vogue so my guess is that the rounder style would have been more practice. They first called it a Coke hat, which was actually made by the Bowler family of Southwark and the hat gradually took their name as its popularity grew. Soon, all types of men were wearing derbies, from bankers to bus drivers. Men of every social and economic class wore these hats and the derby is noted as being the first hat that was mass produced to be affordable for all men.

The derby hat was one of the most popular men's hats for almost seventy years. Men began wearing these hats rather than top hats in the 1850s and then began wearing fedora hats rather than derby hats in the 1920s. However, comedy stars Laurel and Hardy each wore a derby hat throughout the 1920s and 1930s in their movies and it was their signature style. Even stores selling hats today have names for their derbies such as the Laurel and Hardy Bowler and the Laurel and Hardy Derby Hat. Silent film star Charlie Chaplin also wore a signature derby hat. It represented the pathetic vulnerability of the man whose dignity derives from his hat. Coupled with his shabby suit, crooked walking stick and absurdly cocky walk, Chaplins hat signalled to cinema audiences that here was an embattled little man using his hat to give him solidity and importance. The fact that both hat and man were always being knocked off their pedestals made the character irresistible. Some women also wore derby hats even though originally they were sold as men's hats.

Women who performed in the circus or in cabarets were known to wear these hats and they were later sold as a woman's hat. Hats express social attitudes and are as limited by convention as any other item of dress, says Colin McDowell, in his book "Hats, status, style and Glamour". Hats proclaimed the man - his status, attitudes and beliefs - and the woman - her class, breeding and even matrimonial state. The poke bonnet and the mob cap survived much longer on unmarried (or widowed) heads than on those of married women or girls. What women wore was a question of fashion, but men's clothes were dictated by convention. As the St James' Gazette commented in 1890, 'When we are told, "He's a fellow who wears a pot hat and frock coat" we know sufficiently well what sort of fellow he is'. It was understood that no member of polite society would wear a frock coat without the appropriate and sanctioned top hat, keeping the pot hat, or bowler, for less formal wear. It was a nineteenth rule, as flexible and immutable, it seemed, as the edict that 'On the Sabbath all respectable men sport a Topper'.

Wall Street and the City were the place where, in honour of the god of money, formality was rigidly applied to the rules of dress, yet after World War 1 the inconceivable began to happen even there. Men were seen wearing morning coats with Bowlers, a combination that in pre-war days would have been the unforgivable sartorial sin. No that the Bowler was an unacceptable hat, it was simply not formal enough for morning coats. As the twentieth century progressed more and more women took up hunting as a sport. The rules of headwear were predictably strict and wore copies of men's hats. In 1953 one guide to hunting dress was still insisting that a lady wearing a hunting silk hat should also wear a veil. When not hunting, a fashionable lady would ride in the Bios du Boulogne, Central Park or Rotten Row, in order to be seen. These women were not all 'ladies'. The Achilles Statue in Rotten Row had long been the congregation point for high-class prostitutes, magnificently dress, in beautifully turned out carriages or mounted on the most high mettled horses. Known to their clients as 'the pretty horse-breakers', these women were London fashion leaders.

When Skittles, one of Victorian London's most famous prostitutes, appeared in a snappy round topped riding bowler, all the ladies who condemned her and her trade rushed to follow her lead and a new fashion was created. This fashion has still been retained through to the current day, even though a hat is rarely worn in comparison to that time. Like the Top hat, the rounded style of the Bowler is often pictured in Bridal magazines as an alternative to the wedding veil for the bride.
