Origin of the hat

In fact, as early as the 17th century, the gentleman hat became popular in western capitalist countries. With the continuous innovation of men's fashion trend, the old hat used to show social class has gradually developed into one of the indispensable accessories in modern men's clothing.

The full name of the high hat should be the high top silk hat. The cylindrical shape is composed of silk materials. At the end of the 18th century, a man named Hetherington wore it through the streets of London, and everyone was attracted by it. The Times commented: "It has changed the face of men's clothing. Sooner or later, everyone will accept the accessories on the head."

It has been popular for a century because it is familiar with the eternal formula of men's clothing design, which is both decorative and functional. The entire hat crown is about 14 to 19 cm. It can be imagined that once it is worn, it has a powerful aura. At the same time, the depth of the hat body can avoid the embarrassing scene of not being blown away by the wind when riding a horse. It is deeply loved by the Victorian princes and nobles, representing the upper class society.
